The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass

. Starting with 220 grams of a radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 3 half-lives?

Answer:

Quantity remaining= 27.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the initial quantity of the radioactive isotope= 220 grams

And for each half life it will reduce to half of its original quantity

For first half life

Quantity= 220/2

Quantity= 110 grams

Now for the second half life , the quantity to work with will be 110 grams

Second half life

Quantity= 110/2

Quantity= 55 grams

For the third half life , the quantity to work with is 55 grams

Third half life

Quantity= 55/2

Quantity= 27.5 grams

So after 3 half life's of this radioactive isotope, the amount remaining out of 220 = 27.5 grams.

Another simple way to do this

Since half life reduce the isotope by half of its original.

The third half life will reduce it by (1/2)^3= 1/8

So the quantity remaining= 1/8*220

Quantity remaining= 27.5 grams

The area of room is 812 square feet, cost of carpet to cover the room is $6739.6 and the remaining square feet of carpet are covered by furniture is 203 square feet.

<h3>What is the area of trapezoid?</h3>

The area of the trapezoid is the space occupied by it on the two dimensional plane. The area of this figure is half of the product of height and sum of sides.

A=\dfrac{(a+b)h}{2}

Here, (a and b) are the base sides of the trapezoid and (h) is the height.

A room is shaped like a trapezoid which has the height of 28 feet and the length of sides as 23 ft and 35 ft. Thus, the area of it is,

A=\dfrac{(a+b)h}{2}\\A=\dfrac{(23+35)28}{2}\\A=812\rm\; ft^2

Carpet costs $8.30 per square foot. Thus, the cost of carpet with area 812 ft² is,

C=812×$8.30

C=$6739.6

Furniture covers 25% of the floor. Thus, the remaining square feet of carpet are covered by furniture is,

A=\dfrac{25}{100}\times812\\A=203\rm\; ft^2

Thus, the area of room is 812 square feet, cost of carpet to cover the room is $6739.6 and the remaining square feet of carpet are covered by furniture is 203 square feet.
