Scientists use carbon-14 dating to determine the age of a sample of organic material. a. The amount C (in grams) of a 100-gram s

ample of carbon-14 remaining after t years is represented by the equation C=100(0.99988)t C = 100 ( 0.99988 ) t . Use a calculator to find the amount of carbon-14 remaining after 4 years. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The amount of carbon-14 remaining is about grams. b. What percent of the carbon-14 remains after 4 years? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The percent of carbon-14 remaining is about %.

Answer:

a) 99.95 grams are remaining after 4 years.

b) The percent of carbon-14 remaining is about 99.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of carbon 14 remaining after t years is given by the following equation:

C(t) = 100(0.99988)^{t}

a) Amount remaining after 4 years.

C(t) = 100(0.99988)^{4} = 99.95

99.95 grams are remaining after 4 years.

b) Percentage remaining after 4 years:

p = \frac{100*C(4)}{C(0)} = \frc{100*99.95}{100} = 99.95

The percent of carbon-14 remaining is about 99.95%

Convert 3/11 to a decimal equivalent using long division. (Ex: 80-30 is what I need but I'm not sure.)
Virty [35]
.27 repeating....  you have to put three on the inside and 11 outside, so 11 goes into 3 zero times so put a zero at the top. Write a zero underneath and subtract     3-0 (obviously 3) and put a decimal point after the first three under the sign and the 0 above it.  Add a zero after the threes decimal, and carry it down to the bottom most 3 to have 30.  11 goes into 30 two times so write a 2 at the top. Subtract the 30-22 at the bottom and get 8. Add another 0 after the 3 ( so now 3.00) and carry it to the 8 (80). 11 goes in 7 times, 77. So 7 on top and 80-77= 3 below.  Add another zero to repeat process if necessary, but otherwise it repeats, just so you know ;) hope this helps

What is the 399,713 rounded to the place value of the third underlined digit of 399
maksim [4K]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

400,000.

Explanation:

The third digit in 399 is 9. To round to this place value, we inspect the digit behind it. If the digit is 5 or greater, we round up; if it is less than 5, we round down.

The digit behind 9 is 7. Since it is greater than 5, we round up. This would ordinarily put the number up 1; however, doing that makes the 9 a 10, which in turn makes the next number 10, and the next number 4. This gives us 400,000.
