Answer:

94.5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to calculate the time.

The formula to calculate the time for half life =

t = t½ × In (Nt/No)/-In2

t½ = half life = 16 days

No = Initial substance = 120mg

Nt = Amount of substances after time t = 2 mg

t = 16 × In (2/120)/-In2

t = 94.510249529736 days

Approximately = 94.5 days

Therefore, the time it would take for the substance to decay from 120mg to 2 mg is 94.5 days.

A cell phone battery charges at a rate of 16% every thirty minutes. When initially plugged into the charger, a cell phone has 10
grandymaker [24]

30 minutes is 1/2 an hour so 16 x 2 = 32 the phone charges at 32% per hour.

1. Multiply the number of hours by the rate and add the original 10% to that for total charge:

Y = 0.32h + 0.10

2. The phone charges at 16% every thirty minutes which is a half hour so you double the rate it charges to get the rate per hour. The phone charges at 32% per hour that it is charging.

Why does the number 17 not belong with 26, 44, & 65
kkurt [141]

17 is a prime number whereas 26,44 and 65 are the composite numbers.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The number 17 does not belong with 26, 44 and 65.

Here 26 is divisible by 2 and 13.

44 is divisible by 2, 4 and 11.

65 is divisible by 5 and 13

But 17 is divisible by 1 and itself, that is it's a prime number, whereas the other numbers 26, 44 and 65 is divided by 1, itself and also by other numbers.

So 17 is a prime number whereas the 65, 26 and 44 are composite numbers.

Zhang Tao has many guests in his home. He decides to measure the population density in his home. What would be an appropriate un
levacccp [35]
Good question. Let's try this. How about People per meter squared. The average 2 bedroom apartment in the city near where I live is about 94 square meters.  If there were say 100 people at a party in his home, then the number of people per square meter would be 100 / 94 = 1.06 people / square meter.

If however he called those in his home to join him for breakfast and 7 people responded then he would have 7 / 94 = 0.0745 people per m^2 When the number is this small, it might make sense to go the other way. (m^2 per person). 94/7 = 13.4 meters per person. That makes far  more sense. It means that every person has 13.4 meters^2 that he could call his own.
