Answer: 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

t_{\frac{1}{2} } = In2 / ∧

since the half life is given , we have :

22 = In 2/ ∧

∧ = In2/22

∧ = 0.032

Recall the formula for half life:

\frac{N(t)}{N(0)} = e^{-∧t}

Therefore:

0.80 = e^{-0.032t}

Take the In of both sides

In 0.80 = - 0.032t

t = In 0.80 / - 0.032

t = 7 years

Kenny is 8 years older than Andrew. Tim is 3 times
9966 [12]

Answer:

Kenny is 18 years old Andrew is 10 years old Tim is 30 years old and Cameron is  5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be Kenny's age , b be Andrew's age , c be Tim's age , d be Cameron's age

( b < a , b<c , d<b)

Kenny is 8 years older than Andrewn = > a = b + 8 (1)

Tim is 3 times  as old as Andrew => c = 3 . b (2)

Cameron is 5 years younger than  Andrew => d = b-5 (3)

The combined age of the four is 63 => a+b+c+d = 63 (4)

(1),(2),(3),(4) => b+8 + b + 3b + b-5 = 63 <=> 6b + 3 = 63 <=> b = 10

=> a= 10+8 =18, c = 3 . 10 = 30, d= 5
