Answer:

There would be 24 dimes and 76 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start by defining the number of dimes by x and the number of quarters as y. Now we can create a system of equations. Make the first about the total number of coins.

x + y = 100

Make the second about the amount of money.

.10x + .25y = 21.40

Now we can solve using elimination by multiplying the second equation by -4 and adding through.

x + y = 100

-.40x - y = -85.60

-----------------------

.60x = 14.4

x = 24

Now we can use the amount of dimes we have to find the number of quarters.

x + y = 100

24 + y = 100

y = 76

Assume you have such a watch. if a minimum of 18.0% of the original tritium is needed to read the dial in dark places, for how m

laila [671]

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 <span>years that the time could be read at night is 30.4 years.</span>
