The half-life of a radioactive kind of tellurium is 25 minutes. If you start with 88 grams of it, how much will be left after 50

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Notice that 50 minutes is twice the half-life.

After 25 minutes, half of the starting amount remains, so that 88g decays to 44g.

After another 25 minutes (a total of 50 minutes), the 44g will decay to 22g.

Beau's recipe for granola bars calls for 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal. He only has a 1/6 cup scoop. How many scoops of oatmeal will he

Drupady [299]

There will be $\boxed{\bf 21}$ scoops of oatmeal to complete the recipe.

Further explanation:

Given that Beau’s recipe of granola bars contains $3\frac{1}{2}$ cups of oatmeal.

Beau’s has only $\frac{1}{6}$ cup scoop.

Our aim is to find the number of scoops of oatmeal Beau’s needed to complete the recipe for granola bars.

Total cups of oatmeal are $3\frac{1}{2}$ .

First we have to convert the total cups of oat meal to proper fraction.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Cups of oatmeal for the recipe}&=\dfrac{(3\cdot 2)+1}{2}\\&=\dfrac{6+1}{2}\\&=\dfrac{7}{2}\end{aligned}$

There is only $\frac{1}{6}$ cup scoop.

Since there are $\frac{7}{2}$ cups of oatmeal and $\frac{1}{6}$ cup scoop, therefore, number of scoops required to complete the meal are calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Number of scoops required}&=\dfrac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\&=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot 6\\&=7\cdot 3\\&=21\end{aligned}$

The total number of scoops is obtained in whole number; therefore, this is our final answer.

Therefore, $\boxed{\bf 21}$ scoops of oatmeal are needed by Beau’s to complete the recipe of granola bars.

Find the distance between these points. A(5,8), B(-3,4)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Distance between the points is 8.94 units

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula:

${ \boxed{ \bf{distance = \sqrt{ {(x_{1} - x _{2} )}^{2} + {(y _{1} - y _{2} ) }^{2} } }}}$

substitute:

${ \sf{ = \sqrt{ {(5 - ( - 3))}^{2} + {(8 - 4)}^{2} } }} \\ = { \sf{ \sqrt{64 + 16} }} \\ = { \sf{ \sqrt{80} }} \\ = 8.94 \: units$
