Answer: 2500 years
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right myself but I'll give it a shot.
We use this formula to find half-life but we can just plug in the numbers we know to find <em>t</em>.

We know half-life is 5730 years and that the parchment has retained 74% of its Carbon-14. For
let's just assume that there are 100 original atoms of Carbon-14 and for A(t) let's assume there are 74 Carbon-14 atoms AFTER the amount of time has passed. That way, 74% of the C-14 still remains as 74/100 is 74%. Not quite sure how to explain it but I hope you get it. <em>h</em> is the last variable we need to know and it's just the half-life, which has been given to us already, 5730 years, so now we have this.

Now, solve. First, divide by 100.

Take the log of everything

Divide the entire equation by log (0.5) and multiply the entire equation by 5730 to isolate the <em>t</em> and get

Use your calculator to solve that giant mess for <em>t </em>and you'll get that <em>t</em> is roughly 2489.128182 years. Round that to the nearest hundred years, and you'll find the hopefully correct answer is 2500 years.
Really hope that all the equations that I wrote came out good and that that's right, this is definitely the longest answer I've ever written.
4/6 divided by 2/6 is 2.
you multiply the 4/6 by 6/2 to get 24/12. You then simplify it and get 2 as your answer.

Answer:
360
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam obtains a "contribution margin" of $0.50 -0.25 = $0.25 per cookie. That will cover the cost of baking supplies when he sells ...
$90 / ($0.25/cookie) = 360 cookies
Sam needs to sell 360 cookies before he can start making a profit.
_____
If you like, you can find Sam's break-even point by equating revenue and cost. The is the number of cookies Sam must sell for a profit of 0, that is, for non-negative profit.
P = R - C
0 = R - C
R = C
0.50n = 90 +0.25n
0.25n = 90 . . . . subtract 0.25n
n = 90/0.25 = 360 . . . .divide by the coefficient of n
You may notice this is similar to our description above.

Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a linear graph is usually written in the following format...
y = mx + b
Where m would be the slope, usually referring to rise over run and b would be the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). From the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at point 3 so b would be 3. The graph also shows us that for every 1 value that the line rises it moves to the right 2 values. Therefore, the slope would be 1/2. Using these values we can create the following equation...
y =
