50% of a certain number is 39. What is the number?

1 answer:

8 0

Let that certain number be 'n'

50% (n) = 39

50% ⇒ 0.5

0.5 (n) = 39

Divide both sides by 0.5

0.5n = 39
/0.5 /0.5

n = 78.

So that certain number is actually 78! :)

CROSS CHECK:

50% of 78

0.5 × 78

= 39

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$t \approx 750550.12\,yr$

Step-by-step explanation:

The time constant of the isotope is:

$\tau = \frac{1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 1.876 \times 10^{9}\,yr$

The decay of the isotope is described by the following model:

$\frac{m}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Now, the time is cleared in the equation:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}$

$t = - (1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.9996$

$t \approx 750550.12\,yr$
