62.5 mg sample will remain after 240 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Half-life = T =  60 days

The formula for calculating the quantity after n half lives is given by:

N = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n

Here

N is the final amount

N_0 is the initial amount

n is the number of half lives passed

The number of half lives are calculated by dividing the time for which the remaining quantity has to be found by half life

The quantity has to be calculated for 240 days so,

n = \frac{240}{60}\\n = 4

Given

N_0 = 1000\ mg

Putting the values in the formula

N = 1000 (\frac{1}{2})^4\\=1000 * \frac{1}{16}\\=\frac{1000}{16}\\=62.5\ mg

Hence,

62.5 mg sample will remain after 240 days

Which rational number is one tick mark to the right of Negative 6 Over 4 on the number line below?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The number line is missing, but as we are know that the number marked in the number line is -6/4, i will guess that the ticks are spearated by fourts (the distance between each tick is 1/4).

Now, for the number at the right of -6/4, we should add the distance for one tick, this means that the number at the right is:

-6/4 + 1/4 = -5/4.

Now i will give some other examples:

Now, if the distance between ticks is 2/4, then the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 2/4 = -4/4 = -1

Now, if the distance between ticks is 3/4, the the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 3/4 = -3/4.

Montano1993 [528]
Let x be the total weekly sales.

His salary is $300/week + 1.8% (x), if he wants to earn $570, then:

300 + 1.8%(x) = 570
1.8%(x) = 270
0.018 (x) = 270

and x = 270/0.018 = $15,000
