Answer:
- <u>59.0891 g (rounded to 4 decimal places)</u>
Explanation:
<em>Half-life time</em> of a radioactive substance is the time for half of the substance to decay.
Thus, the amount of the radioactive substance that remains after a number n of half-lives is given by:
Where:
- A is the amount that remains of the substance after n half-lives have elapses, and
- A₀ is the starting amount of the substance.
In this problem, you have that the half-live for your sample (polonium-210) is 138 days and the number of days elapsed is 330 days. Thus, the number of half-lives elapsed is:
- 330 days / 138 days = 2.3913
Therefore, the amount of polonium-210 that will be left in 330 days is:
If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah
There are two choices to choose from:
a) Grilled chicken
b) Veggie Pizza
36% students voted for veggie pizza. This means the remaining votes will go to the Grilled chicken. Thus grilled chicken received 64% of the student votes.
Since more students voted for the Grilled chicken, it will be on the lunch menu.
