Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17       -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.

Oregano=o
peppercorns=p
o+p=253
o=p+17
p+17+p=253
2p+17=253
2p=236
p=118
there are 16 ounces in a pound
118*16=1888
Hope this helps :)

How much will be left after 24 hrs if it’s half life is 6 hours?
Aleks [24]
Hello there! A half-life is basically a decay of 50%. We will find the amount left after one day by exponential decay. The formula for exponential decay is A(1 - r)^t, where A = initial amount, r = rate (in decimal form), and t = time (or in this case, amount of half lives). The half-life is 6 hours and 24 goes into 6 four times. That's 4 half lives. Let's start by subtract 50% (0.5) from 1. 1 - 0.5 is 0.5. Now, we will use 0.5 and raise it to the 4th power, because the 4th power represents 4 half lives. 0.5^4 is 0.0625. Leave this number on the calculator. Do not round. Multiply that number by 448 to find the amount left. When you do, you get 28. There. 28 grams will be left after 24 hours.
