Answer:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:

<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere  from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine  131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows  when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers  need to wait to use this hay? </em>

iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):

0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ

x = 8 days

we eliminate A₀ from both sides

0.5 = eᵇ⁸

ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸

-0.69315 = b8

b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664

since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):

0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ

0.1 = eᵇˣ

ln 0.1 = bx

where b = -0.08664

x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664  = -2.302585 / -0.08664  = 26.58 days

Answer:

1 min 45 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 14 min to seconds.

14 x 60 = 840s

Now we can use ratios to find the answer

840s : 800m

Divide both sides by 8

105s : 100m

105s is 1 minute and 45 seconds

How many 0.3's would it take to make 3? Explain your reasoning. ​
grin007 [14]
10. Since it you want to find how many 0.3s it would take to make 3, you would divide 3 by 0.3 or move the decimal over one spot to the right making it 10.

What is 0.316 in expanded form.
RUDIKE [14]
Uhm, I'm pretty new to expanded form but I think it's something like:
(3 × 1/10) + (1 × 1/100) + (6 × 1/1000)
You can also write it as:
0.3 + 0.01 + 0.006

What’s the difference between a bar chart and a histogram
timama [110]

Answer:

Bar charts are for discrere data. That is, can only take particular values, eg number of children, which can only take a whole number, or favourite football team for instance. They typically have gaps between the bars to indicate the separateness of each value.

Histograms are either continuous (height) or grouped discrete data and don’t have gaps between the bars. Also, with Histograms, since the width of each bar is not necessarily the same, the area of the bar and not its height indicates the frequency
