Answer:

something with a volume of 64 ft³, such as a box 4 ft × 4 ft × 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the smaller box is (1 ft)³ = 1 ft³. So 64 of them require a box with a volume of 64 ft³.

The most compact of such boxes is one that is cube-shaped itself. Such a box would have dimensions of ...

∛(64 ft³) = 4 ft

A box that is 4 ft × 4 ft × 4 ft would hold the 64 smaller boxes.

Given that the half life of 3H is 12.3 years.

The amount of substance left of a radioactive substance with half life of $t_{ \frac{1}{2} }$ after t years is given by

$N(t)=N_0\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}} }$

Therefore, the number of years it will take for 18% of the original tritinum to remain is given by

$18 \% = 100 \% \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} =0.18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln0.18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}= \frac{\ln0.18}{\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)} = \frac{-1.715}{-0.6931} =2.474\\ \\ \Rightarrow t=2.474(12.3)=30.4$

Therefore, the number of years that the time could be read at night is 30.4 years.

Answer:

x=5

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y= 31

-6x - 3y = -36 (multiple by -3)

-x=-5

x=5
