<span>In summary, density and specific gravity are properties used to help identify minerals. Density is a measure of the mass of a certain volume of the sample. Specific gravity is a unitless measure, and it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water.</span>

the average time required for radioactive elements, whereby they decay to half their original mass is called the "average life"
VikaD [51]
I'm not sure what your question is. But, the half life is the amount of time required for half the material to decay. For U238 this is 4.5 billion years, whilst for Fr-223 (Francium) its about 22 minutes. To calculate the time for something to decay you need to use the equation:
Mass (after time t) = Mass (initial) * (0.5)^(time/half life)

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?
san4es73 [151]
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

                   =         7.352 cubic feet       (rounded)
