Answer:
7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
15 / 330 = 20 / x...15 gal. to 330 miles = 20 gal to x miles
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(15)(x) = (20)(330)
15x = 6600
x = 6600/15
x = 440 <=== 20 gallons will take u 440 miles
The amount of the radioactive substance is 374.6 g
<h3>How to determine the amount of
radioactive substance?</h3>
The given parameters are:
- Initial, a = 424 mg
- Rate, r = 6%
- Time, t = 2 hours
The amount of the radioactive substance is calculated as:
A(t) = a(1 - r)^t
This gives
A(t) = 424 * (1 - 6%)^t
At 2 hours, we have:
A(2) = 424 * (1 - 6%)^2
Evaluate
A(2) = 374.6
Hence, the amount of the radioactive substance is 374.6 g
