A certain radioactive isotope is a​ by-product of some nuclear reactors. Due to an​ explosion, a nuclear reactor experiences a m

assive leak of this radioactive isotope.​ Fortunately, the isotope has a very short​ half-life of days. Estimate the percentage of the original amount of the isotope released by the explosion that remains days after the explosion.

Answer:

73.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached.

Half life (t1/2) = 9 days

Time taken (t) = 4 days

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

Substituting values;

0.693/9 = 2.303/4 log(No/N)

0.693/9 × 4/2.303= log(No/N)

2.772/20.727= log(No/N)

Antilog (2.772/20.727)=No/N

1.36 = No/N

Therefore;

N/No = (1.36)^-1

N/No = 0.735

Percentage remaining after 4 days= 0.735× 100= 73.5%

If I put a different sticker on the 30th, 50th, and 60th pages will any of the first 600 pages have all 3 stickers?
icang [17]

Answer:

so the which page that will have the 3 sticker, we must solve the least common multiple of 30, 50, 60. A common multiple is a number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. The common multiples of 3 and 4 are 0, 12, 24, ....

The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number (not zero) that is a multiple of both.

so the least common multiple of 30, 50 and 60 is 300. so the page that will have 3 stickers is 300th page

The equation 2y = 8x represents a proportional relationship. What is the constant of proportionality?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

C) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

2y=8x

The above equation represents proportional relationship.

To find the constant of proportionality.

Solution:

<em>The equation representing proportional relationship is given by:</em>

<em>y=kx</em>

<em>where k represents constant of proportionality.</em>

So, in order to find the value of k for the given proportionality relationship, we will solve for y

We have:

2y=8x

Solving for y

Dividing both sides by 2.

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{8x}{2}

y=4x

∴ k=4

Thus, the constant of proportionality = 4.

Round 128 to the nearest ten
SSSSS [86.1K]
130, is the answer.. so here's me having to come back and to explain,because this questions is SO hard.
They ask to round to the ten.
128
  ^This is ten, so we look to our right which is eight, is higher than 5. 5 is counted as higher. So 8 is over five and if we round 28, it's 30.
WOW, fascinating.
Thanks Brainly's "monitors" such help. -_-
