3 is 15% of what number

2 answers:

8 0

'of' means multiply
percent mean partss out of 100 so x%=x/100

translate

3 is 15% of what
3=15/100 times what
3=0.15 times what
divide both sides by 0.15
20=what

the answer is 20

Use the rule of 3 simple

x mean 100%
3 mean 15%
-------------------
x = 3*100/15 = 300/15 = 20

hope this will help you

URGENT HOMEWORK HELP!!

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is simply the constant we add/subtract each time. In this case, the common difference is 3/2 as can be seen from the recursive formula. In other words, each new $n$ will be 3/2 larger than the previous.

The answer is A.

Suppose after 2500 years an initial amount of 1000 grams of a radioactive substance has decayed to 75 grams. What is the half-li

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Between 600 and 700 years (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

At a constant decay rate, the half-life of a radioactive substance is the time taken for the substance to decay to half of its original mass. The formula for radioactive exponential decay is given by:

$A(t) = A_0 e^{(kt)}\\where:\\A(t) = Amount\ left\ at\ time\ (t) = 75\ grams\\A_0 = initial\ amount = 1000\ grams\\k = decay\ constant\\t = time\ of\ decay = 2500\ years$

First, let us calculate the decay constant (k)

$75 = 1000 e^{(k2500)}\\dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1000\\0.075 = e^{(2500k)}\\taking\ natural\ logarithm\ of\ both\ sides\\In 0.075 = In (e^{2500k})\\In 0.075 = 2500k\\k = \frac{In0.075}{2500}\\ k = \frac{-2.5903}{2500} \\k = - 0.001036$

Next, let us calculate the half-life as follows:

$\frac{1}{2} A_0 = A_0 e^{(-0.001036t)}\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ A_0\\ \frac{1}{2} = e^{-0.001036t}\\taking\ natural\ logarithm\ of\ both\ sides\\In(0.5) = In (e^{-0.001036t})\\-0.6931 = -0.001036t\\t = \frac{-0.6931}{-0.001036} \\t = 669.02 years\\\therefore t\frac{1}{2} \approx 669\ years$

Therefore the half-life is between 600 and 700 years

katovenus [111]

So you multiply 2 1/3times 1 1/2 and you get 3 and 1/6
