Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

First to find the percent of decrease you have subtract the largest number by the smaller number. So 78 ft² - 49.14 ft². This would get you to 28.86 ft². Then you would divide the original number, (in this case 78) by the difference (28.86). Once you divide you get .37, you will have to multiply by 100 to get the percent. So the percent of decrease is 37%.

The half-life of a newly discovered radioactive element is 30 seconds. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long will it take f
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

It will take about 109.3 seconds for nine grams of the element to decay to 0.72 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a half-life function to model our function.

A half-life function has the form:

\displaystyle A=A_0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/d}

Where <em>A₀</em> is the initial amount, <em>t</em> is the time that has passes (in this case seconds), <em>d</em> is the half-life, and <em>A</em> is the amount after <em>t</em> seconds.

Since the half-life of the element is 30 seconds, <em>d</em> = 30. Our initial sample has nine grams, so <em>A₀</em> is 9. Substitute:

\displaystyle A=9\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}

We want to find the time it will take for the element to decay to 0.72 grams. So, we can let <em>A</em> = 0.72 and solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle 0.72=9\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}<em />

Divide both sides by 9:

\displaystyle 0.08=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}

We can take the natural log of both sides:

\displaystyle \ln(0.08)=\ln\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}\right)

By logarithm properties:

\displaystyle \ln(0.08)=\frac{t}{30}\ln(0.5)

Solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle t=\frac{30\ln(0.08)}{\ln(0.5)}\approx109.3\text{ seconds}<em />

<em />

So, it will take about 109.3 seconds for nine grams of the element to decay to 0.72 grams.

Which equation represents the line that passes through points (1 -5) and (3 -17)
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

6x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

m=<u>y2-y1</u>

x2-x1

<u>-</u><u>1</u><u>7</u><u>-</u><u>-</u><u>5</u> = <u>-</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

3-1. -2

The two negatives cancel ❌

m=<u>1</u><u>2</u>

2

Divide by 2

m=6

y=mx+b

-5= 6 (1) + b

-5= 6 + b

Subtract (6) from both sides

b= -11

The equation for the line is 6x -11

The answer for number 17
Sedbober [7]
Since cube has all faces as Squares

perimeter of each face P = 22.2
as we know perimeter of a square is P = 4 * ( Sides of a square )

let the sides of the square be 'x'

Hence , 22.2 = 4 * x

=> x = 22.2/4
=> x = 5.55

hence the edge's length is 5.55

Note : if the length from edge to edge is asked then

Length of the Diagonal for a cube =
\sqrt{3}  \times x
Hence we get edge to edge length as

√3 * 5.55 = 9.612

The ratio of the ages of Mandy and Sandy is 2:5. After 8 years, their ages will be in the ratio 1:2. What is the difference betw
swat32

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. Caitlin is right.

<h3>What is a Ratio?</h3>

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The ratio of the ages of Mandy and Sandy is 2:5. Therefore, the ratio will be,

M/S = 2/5

M = 2S/5

After 8 years, their ages will be in the ratio 1:2, therefore,

(M+8)/(S+8) = 1/2

2M + 16 = S + 8

2M - S = -16 + 8

Substitute the value of M,

2(2S/5) - S = -8

-0.2S = -8

S = 40

Now, if we substitute the value of S in the first ratio,

M/S = 2/5

M/40 = 2/5

M = 16

Now, if we take the difference in their ages the difference will be 24(40-16).

Since the difference is 24, we can conclude that Caitlin is right.

Hence, Caitlin is right.
