Answer: 32 room

Step-by-step explanation:

$7\frac{3}{4} =\frac{4(7)+3}{4} =\frac{28+3}{4} =\frac{31}{4}=7.75$

<u>If 1 room = 7.75 yd of carpet ⇒ x rooms = 250 yd of carpet</u>

Use proportions & cross-multiply to solve:

$\frac{1}{7.75} =\frac{x}{250}\\7.75x=250\\x=\frac{250}{7.75} =32.258$

So 250 yd of carpet can cover about 32 rooms.

adiocarbon dating of blackened grains from the site of ancient Jericho provides a date of 1315 BC ± 13 years for the fall of the

Answer:

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} \approx 0.659$ and $\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} \approx 0.661$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the isotope decay is:

$\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

14-Carbon has a half-life of 5568 years, the time constant of the isotope is:

$\tau = \frac{5568\,years}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8032.926\,years$

The decay time is:

$t = 1315\,years + 2007\,years \pm 13\,years$ (There is no a year 0 in chronology).

$t = 3335 \pm 13\,years$

Lastly, the relative amount is estimated by direct substitution:

$\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{\mp\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{-\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} \approx 0.659$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} \approx 0.661$

T=0 is also a solution. Other than 0 here is a solution.
