Answer:

50 atoms of carbon-14

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 atoms

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) = 5700 years

Amount that decay =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained illustrated below:

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) = 5700 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 5700 / 5700

n = 1

Next, we shall determine the amount remaining. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 atoms

Number of half-lives (n) = 1

Amount remaining (N) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2¹ × 100

N = 1/2 × 100

N = 50 atoms

Finally, we shall determine the amount that decayed as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 atoms

Amount remaining (N) = 50 atoms

Amount that decay =?

Amount that decay = N₀ – N

Amount that decay = 100 – 50

Amount that decay = 50 atoms

Therefore, 50 atoms of carbon-14 have decayed during the time.

Murrr4er [49]

If a person has an investment goal of putting in $4000 in a business, then:

  • He would have to make a good budget and not to engage in actions that would sabotage this goal.

<h3>What is an Investment Goal?</h3>

This refers to the plans and objectives of a person as he is making investments of his capital or any other factor of production in a given venture.

With this in mind, we can see that if a person makes an investment plan, then it is only wise and practical that his spendings and allocation of resources is consistent with this investment plan.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
