Your ratio is 4:1 because it takes 4 cups of water for every cup of sugar.
If
is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year
, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

Let
be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

or simply

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

or about 28% of the original amount.
We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

where
is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount
decays after 1 year, so that

Then after 50 years, we have

Answer:
B is the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
-6.53 is the furthest from 0
-6 1/4 is closer to 0
6.57 is positive and more than 0
6 3/4 is also positive and more than 6.57
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x=24
