he ratio of 3:1 involves 4 units. 3 men +1 woman.

Find how many people each unit represents:

4units 2476 people

Therefore each unit represents 2476/4 = 619 people per unit

Now, take the ratio, and multiply up:

3:1 => 3619:1619 => 1857:619 You check this is right by adding the two fractions:

1857 men + 619 women = 2476 people therefore, we are correct

The number of men more than women = Number of men - Number of women

= 1857-619 = 1238 and that is your answer

NEED HELP ASAP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!

Alisiya [41]

Answer: The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Density = Population / Area

The population of state A = 1,055,173

Its area = 2677 square km

Thus, the density of state A = $\frac{1055173}{2677}$ = 394.162495,

The population of state B = 1,333,089

Its area = 36,418 square km

Thus, the density of state B = $\frac{1,333,089}{36,418}$ = 36.6052227,

The population of state C = 3,596,677

Its area = 5543 square km

Thus, the density of state C = $\frac{3,596,677}{5543}$ = 648.868302,

The population of state D =6,745,408

Its area = 10555 square km

Thus, the density of state D = $\frac{6,745,408}{10555}$ = 639.072288,

Since, by the above explanation,

The state in increasing order of the populations,

State A < State B < State C < State D,

Also, the state in increasing order of density,

State B < State A < State D < State C

⇒ Second option is correct.

Iodine-125 has a half-life of about 60 days.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Since it has a half life of 60 days, this means that every 60 days it multiplies by 0.5. Since it asks for 300 days, your equation is 500*(0.5)^5, which is 15.625 mg left after 300 days.

Can anyone help with this question pleasee

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

$y = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$a^{3y - 5} = \frac{1}{a^2}$

Apply the negative exponent rule

$a^{3y - 5} = a^{-2}$

The bases will cancel each other

$3y - 5 = -2$

$3y - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5$

$3y = 3$

$\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{3}{3}$

$y = 1$
