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%

Look at the graph shown<br> Which equation best represents the line?
Brilliant_brown [7]

y=\frac{11}{4}x +4 is the equation best represents the line.

Solution:

Take any two points on the line.

Let the points be (0, –4) and (4, 7).

x_1=0,y_1=-4,x_2=4, y_2=7

General form of equation of a line is y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

<em>y-intercept is the point which line crosses at y-axis.</em>

In the given line, y-intercept is 4.

c = 4

Slope of the line:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

$m=\frac{7-(-4)}{4-0}

$m=\frac{11}{4}

Equation of the line:

y = mx + c

y=\frac{11}{4}x +4

Hence y=\frac{11}{4}x +4 is the equation best represents the line.

Choose the ratio below that is equivalent to the greatest fraction
Mumz [18]
Ratio 5:2 as fraction should be 5/2

as you know 5/2 = 2.5

This is the biggest compared to 9/5, 8/5 and 2/7

9/5 < 2
8/5 <2
2/7 < 1

so 5/2 is greatest
