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

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

0.16 gallons of paint are used on each piece of furniture.

The answer lies between the whole numbers 0 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Four gallons of paint are used to paint 20 chairs and 5 small tables.

if each chair and table used the same amount of paint

then

sum the total pieces of furniture

20+5=25 pieces

Find the unit rate

Divide the total gallons of paint used by the total pieces

\frac{4}{25}=0.16\ \frac{gallons}{piece}

therefore

0.16 gallons of paint are used on each piece of furniture.

The answer lies between the whole numbers 0 and 1.

VARVARA [1.3K]
The group of seventh graders will have 5 groups of five: 5 is the greatest multiple of 25, or 5*5=25. Then for the sixth graders there will be 4 groups of 5: because 4&5 are the greatest factors of 20 and you want the most amount of kids per group, you would have 5 kids in each group. Hope this helps.
