We set up a proportion: 84/?= 56/100
Cross multiply: 56*?= 84*100
⇒ ?= 84*100/56= 150
56% of 150 is 84.
Answer: The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100
a - x = amount left after decay process = 
a) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
b) for finding the age
The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.
Answer:
$4000 was invested at 4%, 2500 was invested at 3%
Step-by-step explanation:
First and foremost the question has to be define.
Total amount raised is $6500
Savings account percentage simple interest =3%
Government Bond: 4% simple interest
Equation for amount invested at each rate:
(6500-x)0.03 + 0.04x = 235
195 - 0.03x + 0.04x = 235
0.01x = 40
x = 4000
$4000 was invested at 4%, 2500 was invested at 3%
Answer:
dogs - 13
cats - 39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs Ma Bernier have be represented with d
She has 3 times as many cats as dogs, the number of cats she has :
cats = 3d
The sum of the cats and dogs is 52
d + 3d = 52
4d = 52
divide both sides of the equation by 4
d = 13
She has 13 dogs
Cats = 3d
= 3 x 13 = 39
