The relationship for radioactive decay is given by:

N(t) = N₀ * exp(-kt), where k is the decay constant.

We may substitute k using the equation:
k = 0.693 / t₀.₅, where t₀.₅ is the half life of the substance

The equation becomes:

N(t) = N₀ * exp(-0.693t / t₀.₅)

The ratio of N(t) : N₀ is 0.717%, or 0.00717. Using this

0.00717 = exp(-0.693t / 5,730)

0.693t = 28,294
t = 40,828.3

The person was alive almost 41,000 years ago.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}   \leq x\leq 2

x denotes amount of food that Felicity's dog eats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Felicity's dog eats no more than two cups of dog food per day.

Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount Martin's dog eats.

The amount of food that Martin's dog eats is represented by using m

To find: the inequality that represents the situation

Solution:

Amount of food that Martin's dog eats = m

Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats ≤ 2

Also,

Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats \geq \frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}

Therefore,

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}\leq Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats ≤ 2

Let x denotes amount of food that Felicity's dog eats.

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2} ≤ \frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}   \leq x\leq 2

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

20 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Eileen collected 78 empty cans to recycle

Carl collected 62 empty cans to recycle

They pack equal number of cans in 7 boxes

Therefore the number of cans in each boxes can be calculated as follows.

= 62 + 78/7

= 140/7

= 20

Hence there were 20 cans in each boxes
