I can see you come from outside the USA. No insults intended!!
.
Anyways, we have to put one side of the ratio and match it to 48.
.
Or even better...

MAKE!!
A!!
PROPORTION!!
.
So... Let's say 7 is proportional to 48... so 7/5 = 48/x, where x is the number equivalent to ratio of 5.
.
Cross multiply!!

</span>7x = 240.
.
Divide 7 on both sides.
.
x = 34 2/7.
.
Hope I helped!!

Answer:

Wrong order!

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a reason why coordinates are called an "ordered pair", and for every point (a, b) a is the x coordinate and b is the y coordinate. The calculations are correct, the way reporting them are not: the point should be (3.0) and (0,2) - in fact, all points on the x axis are of the form (p, 0) and all points on the y axis of the form (0,q)

How much Will be left after

vfiekz [6]

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}\\\\
A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{initial amount}\to &371\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &45\\
h=\textit{half-life}\to &15
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=371\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{45}{15}}\implies A=371\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3$

and surely you know how much that is.
