Assuming that Richard always reads with the same rate, there is a direct proportion between the time spent reading and the portion of book read:

\text{portion}_1 : \text{time}_1 = \text{portion}_2 : \text{time}_2

So, we can set up and solve the following proportion:

\dfrac{1}{4} : \dfrac{4}{5} = x : 1 \iff x = \dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{4}{5}} = \dfrac{1}{4}\cdot \dfrac{5}{4} = \dfrac{5}{16}

What is the range of possible
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

4<C <10

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem: Given a triangle with sides A, B and C the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side:

1.  A+B>C

2.  B +C >A

3.  A+C>B

Thus given two sides of A=3 and B=7 C can be:

7 −3<C < 7+3

C range  

4<C <10

The half life of uranium-232 is 68.9 years. (show step by step)
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1.) 8.09g ; 2) 206.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Half-life(t1/2) of Uranium-232 = 68.9 years

a) If you have a 100 gram sample, how much would be left after 250 years?

Initial quantity (No) = 100g

Time elapsed (t) = 250 years

Find the quantity of substance remaining (N(t))

Recall :

N(t) = No(0.5)^(t/t1/2)

N(250) = 100(0.5)^(250/68.9)

N(250) = 100(0.5)^3.6284470

N(250) = 100 × 0.0808590

= 8.0859045

= 8.09g

2) If you have a 100 gram sample, how long would it take for there to be 12.5 grams remaining?

Using the relation :

N / No = (1/2)^n

Where N = Amount of remaining or left

No = Original quantity

n = number of half-lifes

N = 12.5g ; No = 100g

12.5 / 100 = (1/2)^n

0.125 = (1/2)^n

Converting 0.125 to fraction

(1/8) = 1/2^n

8 = 2^n

2^3 = 2^n

n = 3

Recall ;

Number of half life's (n) = t / t1/2

t = time elapsed ; t1/2 = half life

3 = t / 68.9

t = 3 × 68.9

t = 206.7 years

Can someone finish this fast
dybincka [34]

Answer:

y + 9 = - 2(x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 13)

m = \frac{13+9}{-2-9} = \frac{22}{-11} = - 2

Using (a, b ) = (9, - 9 ) , then

y - (- 9) = - 2(x - 9) , that is

y + 9 = - 2(x - 9)
