(126) times (1/2 to the x/11 power) = 15% times 126

(1/2) to the x/11 power = 0.15

Take the log of both sides :

(x/11) times log(1/2) = log(0.15)

Multiply both sides by 11 :

'x' times log(1/2) = 11 x log(0.15)

Divide both sides by " log(1/2) " :

x = 11 x log(0.15)/log(1/2) = <em><u>30.107 years</u></em> (rounded)

That's the time it takes for <em><u>any-size</u></em> sample of this substance
to decay to 15% of its original size.

kotykmax [81]

To find the value of a variance add and subtract the variance from the original number.

The original number is 32 hot dogs.

The variance is 5 hot dogs.


32-5 = 27

32 + 5 = 37


This means he needs to eat between 27 and 37 hot dogs.


he inequality with variance is written as: 27 < h < 37
