Answer:

16.07 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Using the formula of radioactive decay,

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

Where R = Original mass of the polonium-210, R' = Final mass of polonium-210 after decaying, a = Total disintegration time, b = half life of polonium-210.

Make R' the subject of the equation

R' = R/(2ᵃ/ᵇ)................ Equation 2

Given: R = 100 milligrams, a = 1 years = 365 days, b = 138.39 days

Substitute these values into equation 2

R' = 100/(2³⁶⁵⁰⁰/¹³⁸³⁹)

R' = 100/(6.222)

R' = 16.07 milligrams of plonium-210

Whats the error?Jonah says a common denominator for 3/4 and 2/5 is 9.What is Jonahs error?
sammy [17]
In order to get the common denominator when adding fractions or subtracting fractions, you have to make sure  that the denominator of the two items are divisible by each other. In this case, 9 is not divisible by any of the given denominators which is 4 and 5. So in this case, the common denominator will have to be 20. 5 x 4 will equal to 20 and you will also multiply 3 x 5 to get the new numerator. After that, you will multiply 2 x 4 to get the new numerator of the other fraction. The new fractions will be 15/20 and 8/20. From there, you can add or subtract

Math question help me
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

on the left side there is 3 circles and every circle is 3 grams, so there is 9 grams plus 6 squares for 2 grams its 12 . 9+12 =21 and two triangles with x mass

on the right side there is 2 circles , 2×3 = 6, and 3 squares, 3×2 = 6. 6+6=12 +5x

both sides are equal so we have

21+2x=12+5x

21-12=5x-2x

9=3x

x=3
