Hello There!

Before we start, I am going to divide 3.5 by 2 because then we can multiply by 7 to see how far Jimmy can run in 70 minutes.

Jimmy can run 1.75 miles in 10 minutes.

To find out how many miles he can run in 70 minutes, we just multiply 1.75 by 7 and we get a product of 12.25

Jimmy Can Run 12.25 Miles In 70 Minutes

A breeder reactor converts uranium-238 into an isotope of plutonium-239 at a rate proportional to the amount of uranium-238 pres

topjm [15]

Let $U(t)$ denote the amount of uranium-238 in the reactor at time $t$ . As conversion to plutonium-239 occurs, the amount of uranium will decrease, so the conversion rate is negative. Because the rate is proportional to the current amount of uranium, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dU}{\mathrm dt}=-kU$

where $k>0$ is constant. Separating variables and integrating both sides gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dU}U=-k\,\mathrm dt\implies\ln|U|=-kt+C\implies U=Ce^{-kt}$

Suppose we start some amount $u$ . This means that at time $t=0$ we have $U(0)=u$ , so that

$u=Ce^{-0k}\implies C=u\implies U=ue^{-kt}$

We're given that after 10 years, 99.97% of the original amount of uranium remains. This means (if $t$ is taken to be in years) for some starting amount $u$ ,

$0.9997u=ue^{-10k}\implies k=-\dfrac{\ln(0.9997)}{10}$
