If there is 520 grams of radioactive material with a half-life of 12 hours, how much of the radioactive material will be left af

This is a fairly easy half-life problem
Each half-life reduces the radioactive material by one half.
So after 72 hours the radioactive material would have undergone 6 half-lives. 
2^6 = 64.
So, there will be one sixty-fourth of the material left.
520 / 64 = 8.125 grams will remain.
radioactive decay is an exponential decay function.

A plane travels at a constant speed. It takes 6 hours to travel 3360 miles. A. What is the planes speed in miles per hour? B. At
NemiM [27]

Answer:

the plans can go 560 miles per hour and in 10 hours it can travel 5600 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1st divide miles over hour so you have to do 3360/6 and the solution you get for that equation is how far the plane can go in miles per hour 2nd for the second question you have to multiply your unit rate by the 10 hours so since our unit rate was 560 miles per hour you would multiply 360 and 10.

3.17

3.71

Option C:

√4 = 2

√9 = 3

Option D:

Doesn't need to be solved.
