<span>The answer is 9,990 years. Using the exponential decay question, we can figure out how long it will take Plutonium-240 to decay from 27 grams to 9 grams. Setting the equation up looks like this, 9 = 27 e^ (-0.00011 t). From this you get, 0.333333 = e ^(-0.00011 t). Next, you simplify by dividing both sides by the natural log, -1.0986 = -0.00011 t. Finally, you solve by dividing both sides by -0.00011, giving 9,987 years for t, rounded up to 9,990 years.</span>

In Mr. Cannon's class, 44% scored an 80 or above on the semester exam. Which of the following is NOT equivalent to 44% Question
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

22/50 is equivalent because if you multiply 50 by 2 to get 100, then multiply 22 by 2, you get 44 out of 100 (44). For 11/20 if you multiply 20 by 5 to get 100, then multiply 11 by 5, you get 55 out of 100 (55). Do the same thing for all the other ones. I hope this helps! Please mark me brainliest thanks!
