Suppose a laboratory has a 30 g sample of polonium-210. The half-life of polonium-210 is about 138 days How many half-lives of p

This is an easy half-life calculation because it involves an exact integer of half-lives.  1,104 days is precisely 8 half-lives.  After each half-life, one half of the original remains.
So, after 8 half-lives you will have 1 / 2^8 of the original material left.
So we start with 30 grams and 1 / 2^8 = <span> <span> <span> 0.00390625</span></span></span>.
We are therefore left with (30 * <span> <span> <span> 0.00390625) or </span></span></span> <span> <span> <span> 0.1171875 grams of the original 30 grams of polonium.   </span> </span> </span>

3x+2y=3y-2 line 1 x+y=10 line 2 solve for x/y
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

x/y=1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=3y-2

3x=3y-2y-2

3x=y-2

y=3x+2

x+y=10

x+3x+2=10

4x+2=10

4x=10-2

4x=8

x=8/4

x=2

2+y=10

y=10-2

y=8

x/y=2/8=1/4

Dr. Hilton uses the graph to determine if a patient has a
seropon [69]

Answer:

At least 100 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make an inequality assertion from the graph drawn by Dr Hilton.

The correct conclusion here is that a person has a fever once his/her temperature is greater than or equal to 100 degrees.

How do we know this from the graph? from the graph, we can see a yellow circular mark placed on 100. This indicates that we are starting our consideration from the point 100 degrees. What we don not know is if our answer is less than, greater than, less than or equal to or greater than or equal to.

The correct answer is however greater than or equal to. Firstly we check the fill of the yellow circular mark. Once it is filled and not left blank, then it indicates an equal to relationship, meaning 100 degrees itself is included in the range.

finally we then consider the direction it faces and from here we can conclude that it is greater than or equal to

GaryK [48]
W= Width 
L= Length

2L+2w=52
2W-4=L
Plug in L into the first equation
2(2W-4)+2w=52
4w-8+2w=52
6W=60
W=10 feet
Plug that into the second equation
2(10)-4=L
L=16
