Answer:

hi there ☺️

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 345. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 345. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 345

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 345

3X + 3 = 345

3X + 3 - 3 = 345 - 3

3X = 342

3X/3 = 342/3

X = 114

Which means that the first number is 114, the second number is 114 + 1 and the third number is 114 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 345 are 114, 115, and 116.

114 + 115 + 116 = 345

We know our answer is correct because 114 + 115 + 116 equals 345 as displayed above.

Assume you have such a watch. if a minimum of 18.0% of the original tritium is needed to read the dial in dark places, for how m

Given that the half life of 3H is 12.3 years.

The amount of substance left of a radioactive substance with half life of $t_{ \frac{1}{2} }$ after t years is given by

$N(t)=N_0\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}} }$

Therefore, the number of years it will take for 18% of the original tritinum to remain is given by

$18 \% = 100 \% \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} =0.18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln0.18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}= \frac{\ln0.18}{\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)} = \frac{-1.715}{-0.6931} =2.474\\ \\ \Rightarrow t=2.474(12.3)=30.4$

Therefore, the number of years that the time could be read at night is 30.4 years.
