Answer:

It takes 27 minutes for the element to decay to 35 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial amount  =  790 grams

Final amount =  35 grams

Half life =  6 minutes

To find:

Time taken for the element to reduce into 35 grams  = ?

Solutions

Time taken = half life  \times \frac{ log(\frac{ initial amount}{final amount})}{log(2)}

On substituting the values given, Time taken  

= 6 \times \frac{log(\frac{790}{35})}{log(2)}

= 6 \times \frac{log(22.57)}{log(2)}

= 6 \times 4.496

= 26.97

= 27 minutes

if a pound of grapes cost $0.14 in 1960 and the price of grapes increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1960 to 1980 by appro
masya89 [10]

The CPI increased from 29.6 to 82.4.  

The rate of increase, is:

82.4/29.6 = 2.78

Now multiply this rate to the $0.14 price of grapes from 1960.

$0.14 x 2.78 = $0.39

Now to get the amount of increase subtract the new price from the original price:

$0.39 - $0.14 = $0.25 increase.
