Mathematics

A half-life of 9 minutes corresponds to a decay factor <em>k</em> such that

\dfrac12=e^{9k}\implies k=-\dfrac19\ln\left(\dfrac12\right)

Then the time it takes for the substance to decay from 610 g to 124 g is time <em>t </em>such that

124\,\mathrm g=(610\,\mathrm g)e^{kt}

Solve for <em>t</em> :

\dfrac{62}{305}=e^{kt}

\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)=kt

t=\dfrac1k\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)\approx20.686

so it takes about 20.7 min for the 610 g sample to decay down to 124 g.

expeople1 [14]

Answer: 1852.5 cubic inches


Step-by-step explanation:

The Volume of cuboidal box is given by:-

Volume=length\times width\times\ height

Given: The length of box =9\frac{1}{2}\ inches=\frac{19}{2}\ inches

The width of the box =15\ inches

The height of the box =13\ inches

Now, the volume of box is given by:-

Volume=\frac{19}{2}\times15\times13=\frac{3705}{2}=1852.5\ inches^3
