Answer: 13 1/8
Explanation: since he cut two pieces and each piece is 4 1/4 you’re going to add 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 which makes it two pieces and the sum would be 8 1/2 then you’re going to 8 1/2 from the original length, 21 5/8 which is going to leave you with the remaining length being 13 1/8.
Hope it helps:)
Answer:
It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the amount of the element present, after t minutes, is:

In which Q(X) decays radioactively with a half life of 12 minutes.(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate it decreases.
Half life of 12 minutes
This means that 
So








If there are 200 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 50 grams?
This is t when Q(t) = 50. Q(0) = 200.








It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
