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

Mathematics

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

from a set of seven math books, nine science books, and five literature books, in how many ways can a student select two from ea
Over [174]
There are 7 math books, 9 science books and 5 literature books. Student has to select 2 books from each set.

This is a combination problem.

Number of ways to select 2 math books from 7 books = 7C2 = 21
Number of ways to select 2 science books from 9 books = 9C2 = 36
Number of ways to select 2 literature books from 5 books = 5C2 = 10

Total number of ways to select 2 books from each set = 21 x 36 x 10 = 7560 ways.

So there are 7560 ways to select 2 books from each set of seven math books, nine science books, and five literature books

What is 36j + j<br><br> please help and explain if you can!!! :)
Norma-Jean [14]
36j + j = 37j

Explanation.
You could translate this sum into a normal sebtence: I have 36 apples and add 1 apple more.

The sum will then be 36 apples + apple = 37 apples.
Replacing the word (in this explanation 'apple') by a letter learns us 36a + a = 37a

Hence 36j + j = 37j

Type the correct answer in each box. Spell all words correctly, and use numerals instead of words for numbers. If necessary, use
Firlakuza [10]
Given:
2 rectangular prism.
same height
square bases


                                    Box A     Box B
Square Base side          2 ft        0.75 ft
Height                            4 ft        4 ft

Solving for the space inside each rectangular prism, we need to find its volume.

Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height

Box A: 
Volume = 2 ft * 2 ft * 4 ft = 16 cubic feet

Box B:
Volume = 0.75 ft * 0.75 ft * 4 ft = 2.25 cubic feet

Box A - Box B = difference in space

16 cubic feet - 2.25 cubic feet = 13.75 cubic feet

Box A contains 13.75 cubic feet more space than Box B.

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused
Veronika [31]
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible. 

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
