Answer:

14.99 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for half-life is given as,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ...................... Equation 1

Where R= Original mass of sodium-24, R' = mass of Sodium-24 after disintegration, a = Total time taken for sodium-24 to disintegrate, b = half-life of sodiun-24.

Given: R = 1 kg, R' = 0.0156 kg, a = 90 hours

Substitute into equation 1 and solve for b

1/(0.0156) = 2⁹⁰/ᵇ

Taking the log of both side

log[1/(0.0156)] = log(2⁹⁰/ᵇ)

log[1/(0.0156)] = 90/b(log2)

90/b = log[1/(0.0156)]/log2

90/b = 6.0023

b = 90/6.0023

b =  14.99 hours

b = 14.99 hours.

Hence the half-life of Sodium-24 is 14.99 hours

Answer:

126 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

The while tiles are 3/4 of a foot (or 9 inches) x 9 in, so their area is 81 sq in. There are 14 blue tiles, so 14 x 81 = 1134 sq inches that need to be covered.

Each tiles is 3 x 3, so its area is 9 sq in. 1134 / 9 = 126 tiles

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

He has 4 more to hang

Step-by-step explanation:

13 total; you  must add the 5 he already hung in the morning plus, the 4 he hung in the afternoon; leaving you with 4 because 5 plus 4 is 9. 13 minus 9 is 4.

Not sure what to do here? Naomi has 50 red beads and white beads. The number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of w
lorasvet [3.4K]
R + w = 50
r = 6w + 1

now we sub ..
6w + 1 + w = 50
7w + 1 = 50
7w = 50 - 1
7w = 49
w = 49/7
w = 7 <== white beads

r = 6w + 1
r = 6(7) + 1
r = 42 + 1
r = 43 <=== red beads
