Answer:

the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem.  With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Step-by-step explanation:

for the mass y( in grams)

y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.

the initial mass is at t=0 , then

y= 23 grams  → should be 16 grams

half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years

the correct equation should be

y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0

then after 150 years  → t= 150

y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams

then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

25 is what percent less than 35
mars1129 [50]
Difference between 25 and 35 = 35 -25
                                                 = 10
Then
percentage by which 25 is less than 35 =(10/35) * 100
                                                                 = (2/7) * 100
                                                                 = 200/7
                                                                 = 28.57 percent
So 25 is 28.57% less than 35.This is the only clear way of solving these kind of problems. I hope you have understood the method used to solve this problem. Hopefully you can do such type of problems without needing any help.

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 387. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define:

c: children attendance

s: students attendance

a: adult attendance

The equation that describes the total ticket sales is:

5c+7s+12a=2808

We also know that the children attendance doubles the adult attendance:

c=2a

The third equation is the seating capacity, which we assume is full:

c+s+a=387

We start by replacing variables in two of the equations:

c=2a\\\\s=387-c-a=387-2a-a=387-3a

Then, we solve the remaining equation for a:

5c+7s+12a=2808\\\\5(2a)+7(387-3a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+(2709-21a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+12a-21a=2808-2709\\\\a=99

Then, we solve for the other two equations:

c=2a=2*99=198\\\\s=387-3a=387-3*99=387-297=90

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

The length of the observable universe is.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizations like NASA who explore space and planets often have to deal with measurement of very long distances such as the one stated above. The Major challenge with the distance written in the format expressed above is the difficulty to read, state or use in mathematical calculations as it is too explicit. A more effective method is to express this distance in standard format and more suitable long distant units such as miles.

For instance;

880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers could be expressed as in standard form as ;

8.8 * 10^23 km
