Answer: 30g

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question (t½) of isotope is 40 days, which means that after 40 days half of the sample would have decayed and half would be left as it is.

After 40 days ( first half life) 240 /2 = 120 g decays and 120 g remains left.

After another 40 days ( two half lives or 80 days) 120 /2 = 60 g decays and 60 g remains left .

after three half lives or 120 days, 60/2 = 30g decay and 30 g of the isotope will be left.

 What is the value of the ratio of the surface area to the volume of the right prism?
UkoKoshka [18]
So first fin the area then surface area and the volume
volume=legnth times width times heigh ttimes width=3 times 5 times 6=90
volume=90
surface area=(2 times 3 times 5)+(2 times 3 times 6)+(2 times 5 times 6)=(2 times 15)+(2 times 18)+(2 times 30)=30+36+60=126

volume=90
surface area=126
radio fo surface area to volume
90:126
simplify and treat as fraction
5:7
since they area all decimals they expect us to divide
5/7=.714
the closest answer is D, 0.7

the answer is D 0.7
