Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

The half-life of iron-52 is approximately 8.3 hours.How much of a 13 gram sample of iron-52 would remain after 8 hours? Round to
Alexandra [31]

6.665 grams of the 13 grams remain after 8 hours.

<h3>How much of a 13 gram sample of iron-52 would remain after 8 hours?</h3>

The decay equation for the 13 grams of iron-52 is:

N(t) = 13g*e^{(-ln(2)/8.3h)*t}}

Where N is the amount of iron-52, and t is the time in years.

Where we used the fact that the half-life is exactly 8.3 hours.

Now, the amount that is left is given by N(8h), so we just need to replace the variable t by by 8 hours, so we get:

N(8h) = 13g*e^{(-ln(2)/8.3h)*8h}} = 6.665g

So 6.665 grams of the 13 grams remain after 8 hours.
