7 tulips and 5 daffodils. An easy way to work this out is to list the multiples of both 5 and 4 until you get up to 55. Then you can find one number from each list which would add up to 55( which in this case would be 35 and 20) 35 being 7th in the 5 times table and 20 being 5th in the 4 times table.
A. Because all the question is saying is if Y were 700 then what would x be 700 divided by 3 is 233 so that times 4 is about 933
(126) times (1/2 to the x/11 power) = 15% times 126
(1/2) to the x/11 power = 0.15
Take the log of both sides :
(x/11) times log(1/2) = log(0.15)
Multiply both sides by 11 :
'x' times log(1/2) = 11 x log(0.15)
Divide both sides by " log(1/2) " :
x = 11 x log(0.15)/log(1/2) = <em><u>30.107 years</u></em> (rounded)
That's the time it takes for <em><u>any-size</u></em> sample of this substance
to decay to 15% of its original size.
Minus 36 from each one you can do it on a calculator:)
