Answer:

4 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 24.

One of the numbers is 5 times larger than the other.

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 24

x = 5y

Put x as 5y in the first equation.

5y + y = 24

6y = 24

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the second equation.

x = 5(4)

x = 20

The half-life of radium is 1690 years. If 20 grams are present now, how much will be present in 250 years?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

18.05 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the initial quantity is ...

(1/2)^(t/1690)

so, for t=250, this becomes ...

(1/2)^(250/1690) ≈ 0.902545

Then the quantity remaining of the initial 20 g is ...

(20 g)(0.902545) ≈ 18.05 g
