Answer:

\boxed{6.875 \text{\: grams}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-lives are how long it takes for half of a substance to decay. If you start with a certain amount and it decays for a certain amount of half-lives, you are dividing by 2^{x}, where <em>x</em>  is equal to the amount of half-lives.

In order to solve this question, simply divide the starting value by 2 raised to the value of half-lives.

\large\boxed{\frac{220}{2^{5}}=6.875\text{\: grams}}

Jill, an employee at Old Navy, budgets 18 of her yearly salary for clothing. Jill's total clothing bill for the year is $8,180.
Triss [41]

Answer: $ 45,444.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jill budgets 18% of her yearly salary for clothing.

His total clothing bill for the year is $8,180.

Let x=  her yearly salary

Then according to the question , we have

18% of x = 8180

Convert 18% into decimal by dividing it by 100 , we get

0.18 x= 8180

Multiply both sides by 100

⇒ 18x = 818000

Divide both sides by 18 , we get

x= 45444.44

Hence, her yearly salary = $ 45,444.44

Graph the inequality x&gt;-8 using the steps
Yuki888 [10]
Hey!


Your point on the graph would be ( -8, 0 ).

We shade the right side of the graph because the inequality shows that x is greater than -8.
