The correct answer is - True.

The stratosphere manages to absorb around 95% of the UV radiation that comes from the Sun. The stratosphere acts like a protective layer in our atmosphere for the living organisms on our planet. If the stratosphere was not able to absorb the UV radiation in that big of an amount and was letting through much more of it to reach the Earth, than life would be almost impossible on our planet, and most of the organisms would die out because the UV radiation will cause extremely big damage and lead to death.

The product of my number and twice my number is 128 what is half my number

Ad libitum [116K]

Let's call your number n. Twice your number is 2n. The product of your number and twice your number (so n multiplied by 2n) is 128.

Set up an equation:

n × 2n = 128

2n² = 128

Divide both sides by 2:

n² = 64

Square root both sides to isolate n:

n = 8

The question asks for half your number, so just half 8:

8 ÷ 2 = 4.

Half your number is 4.
