Every 56 seconds, the radioactive substance is divided in half.
224 / 56 = 4
We need to cut the substance in half 4 times.
896 / 2 = 448
448 / 2 = 224
224 / 2 = 112
112 / 2 = 56
After 224 seconds, there will be 56 grams of the radioactive substance left over
Answer:
√446 ≈ 21.12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The longest dimension of a rectangular prism is the length of the space diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner through the center of the prism. The Pythagorean theorm tells you the square of its length is the sum of the squares of the dimensions of the prism:
d² = (15 cm)² +(11 cm)² +(10 cm)² = (225 +121 +100) cm² = 446 cm²
d = √446 cm ≈ 21.12 cm
The longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism is about 21.12 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The square of the face diagonal is the sum of the squares of the dimensions of that face. The square of the space diagonal will be the sum of that square and the square of the remaining prism dimenaion, hence the sum of squares of all three prism dimensions.

Symbol answer: 6/12 < 9/12
Step-by-Step explanation:
Common knowledge: Anytime you have the same numerator, with a different denominator, the one with the bigger denominator is always smaller. For example, if had a pizza with 6 slices and a pizza with 4 slices, the one with 6 slices and smaller and the one with 4 slices and bigger. Even though 6>4 that mindset has to change when thinking about a problem like this.
<em>Another explanation: </em>
<em>If you still don’t get it, simply find a common denominator, so we’ll choose 12. Take 3/6 and multiply that by 2/2 so you get 6/12 and then take 3/4 and multiply that by 3/3 on both the (numerator and denominator) and that equals 9/12.</em>
<em>So now you have the expression: 6/12<9/12.</em>
