The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.

3 hours. If 1 gram of this isotope is present initially, how long will it take for 70% of the lead to decay

Answer:

4.62 hrs

Step-by-step explanation: there is 1g of pb-209 present and it's half life (time to reduce to it's half value) is 3.3 hours.

Half of the original value = 1g/2

= 0.5g

So

0.5g = 3.3 hrs

Now 70% of 1g is 0.7g

Value of pb-209 remaining at 70% removed is 1-0.7=0.3g

So the Time to decay to 0.3g is

=(0.7*3.3)/0.5

=2.31/0.5

= 4.62 hrs

Hi can you help me pleaseeee?)

<em>So to solve for a variable, you have to isolate that variable onto one side.</em>

<h3>14.</h3>

Firstly, multiply both sides by j: h-4=kj

Next, divide both sides by k and <u>your answer will be: \frac{h-4}{k}=j</u>

<h3>15.</h3>

Firstly, add g on both sides: \frac{x}{5}=a+g

Next, multiply both sides by 5 and <u>your answer will be: x=5(a+g)</u>

<h3>16.</h3>

Firstly, subtract 5p on both sides: 9c=-4p

Next, divide both sides by 9 and <u>your answer will be c=-\frac{4}{9}p</u>

The number of his next 42 field goals the kicker will not make will be 35.

<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

A kicker made 10 of his last 12 field goals.

Predict the number of his next 42 field goals the kicker will not make will be

Let x be the number of his next 42 field goals the kicker will not make.

Then we have

x / 10 ≠ 42 / 12

      x ≠ 35

More about the ratio and the proportion link is given below.
