Answer:
The decay rate is 5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a substance is decaying at the rate of r% per hour from the initial value of P for t hours, then the final value of the substance is given by the function
........... (1)
Comparing this equation with the original equation given as
............ (2) we get,
⇒ 
⇒ r = 5%.
Therefore, the decay rate is 5%. (Answer)
Since it’s asking for square inches on a rectangular prism, this is solving for surface area. So we use the following formula:
2(h*w)+2(h*l)+2(w*l)=A
2(10*8)+2(10*12)+2(8*12)
2(80)+2(120)+2(96)
160+240+192
592
592 sq. in.
If your question is how many positions are possible, then the answer is 24.
We find this by thinking of how many people can be in each spot. If there are 4 spots each person can stand (back left, back right, front left, front right), then there are 4 possible choice for the first spot (mom, dad, son, daughter), then 3 for the next spot (since 1 is already in a spot), then 2 options for the next spot, and then 1 option for the last spot. In other words, the answer is 4x3x2x1, or 4 factorial.
