If a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 6 hours and 12 milligrams is initially present, how much will

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:0.75 milligrams will  be present in 24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The formula for radioactive decay can be written as

N(t)=No (1/2)^(t/t 1/2)

where

No= The amount of the radioactive substance at time=0=milligrams

t 1/2= the half-life= 6 hours

t=24 hours

N(t) = the amount at time t

Step 2--- Solving

N(t)=No (1/2)^(t/t 1/2)

=N(t)=12 x ( 1/2) ^ (24/6)

= 12 x (1/2) ^4

= 12 x 0.0625

= 0.75 milligrams

Alicia wants to bake a cake with ⁹/10 grams of flour.However,she only has ⅓ grams of flour she needs.How much does she have?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

We know that:

She needs 9/10 grams of flour for the cake (this quantity does not make a lot of sense, maybe is written incorrectly, but is the only info we have, so let's solve the problem with this)

She only has 1/3 of the amount she needs.

How much flour does she have?

Well, she needs 9/10 grams, and she has one-third of that.

Then she has (1/3) times (9/10) grams, this is:

F = (1/3)*(9/10) grams

F = (1*9)/(3*10) grams

F = 9/30 grams

That is the amount of flour that she has.
