The half life of a decaying substance is defined as the time at which the substance decreases to one-half of its original value. In this case, given  hlf-life of 10 years and an original mass of 50 grams, after 10 years, the isotope mass becomes 50*0.5 or 25 grams. Answer is B.

Sylvia is hiking from Mineral Creek to Blueberry Hilla distance points of 6 1/5 miles. After hiking 2 2/3 miles , Sylvia stops f
Margarita [4]

Given:

Total distance = 6\dfrac{1}{5} miles

Hiking before lunch = 2\dfrac{2}{3} miles

To find:

How much further does Sylvia have left to hike?

Solution:

Let x be the remaining hiking distance.

We know that,

Total hiking distance = Hiking before lunch + Remaining hiking distance

6\dfrac{1}{5}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+x

\dfrac{(6\times 5)+1}{5}=\dfrac{(2\times 3)+2}{3}+x

\dfrac{30+1}{5}=\dfrac{6+2}{3}+x

\dfrac{31}{5}=\dfrac{8}{3}+x

Isolate variable term.

\dfrac{31}{5}-\dfrac{8}{3}=x

\dfrac{93-40}{15}=x

\dfrac{53}{15}=x

It can be written as

\dfrac{45+8}{15}=x

\dfrac{(3\times 15)+8}{15}=x

3\dfrac{8}{15}=x

So, 3\dfrac{8}{15} miles left to hike.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Find the value of the variable and the measure of each labeled angle
ololo11 [35]
Since the two angles that you have are vertical angles, we know that vertical angles are congruent, so you have to set them to equal each other.

x+24=5x-36
-4x+24=-36
-4x=-60
x=15

We now have the value of x so now we plug it in for each expression of each angle.

x+24=?
15+24=39

5x-36=?
5(15)-36=?
75-36=39

Factor out the GCF 45c^6+20c^4
tatiyna

Answer:

5c^4( 9c^2 + 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF of 45 and 20 is 5 and the GCF of c^6 and c^4 = c^4.

So the GCF is 5c^4 and the factors are:

5c^4( 9c^2 + 4)
