Answer: 3.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be p,

Generate an equation from the question

6 x p -5= 17 = 6p - 5 = 17

Make p subject of equation

6p= 17 + 5

6p = 22

Divide both sides by 6

p = 22/6

p= 3.66667

Check:

Slot the value of p into the equation

6 (3.66667) - 5= 17

22 - 5 = 17

If there are 360 grams of radioactive material with a half-life of 8 hours, how much of the radioactive material will be left af
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

There will be 22.5 grams left after 32 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A half-life is how long it takes for half of the amount to go away. In this case, we see that we have two half-life periods worth, which you can determine by dividing the total time by the half-life time.

32hrs/8hrs = 4 half lives.

Now we can raise 1/2 to the power of how many half lives we have (2). Then we multiply that by the amount in the sample.

(1/2)^4 * 360

1/16 * 360

22.5 grams

And this is an exponential function.
