Answer:

no! you can label either of the legs a or b. it doesn't matter. the hypotenuse always stays as c though if you're using a formula.

You have 2000 grams of substance A which has decay constant 0.03, and you have 3000 grams of substance B, which has decay consta
joja [24]

Answer:

If you have a quantity X of a substance, with a decay constant r, then the equation that tells you the amount of substance that you have, at a time t, is:

C(t) = X*e^(-r*t)

Now, we know that:

We have 2000g of substance A, and it has a decay constant of 0.03 (i assume that is in 1/year because the question asks in years)

And we have 3000 grams of substance B, with a decay constant of 0.05.

Then the equations for both of them will be:

Ca = 2000g*e^(-0.03*t)

Cb = 3000g*e^(-0.05*t)

Where t is in years.

We want to find the value of t such that Ca = Cb.

So we need to solve:

2000g*e^(-0.03*t) = 3000g*e^(-0.05*t)

e^(-0.03*t) = (3/2)e^(-0.05*t)

e^(-0.03*t)/e^(-0.05*t) = 3/2

e^(t*(0.05 - 0.03))  = 3/2

e^(t*0.02) = 3/2

Now we can apply Ln(x) to both sides, and get:

Ln(e^(t*0.02)) = Ln(3/2)

t*0.02 = Ln(3/2)

t = Ln(3/2)/0.02 = 20.3

Then after 20.3 years, both substances will have the same mass.

Boardgame+snacks=total weight
total weight<25

boardgame=4
snacks=weight per each time number=14 times n or 14n

4+14n<25
minus 4 both sides
14n<21
divide both sides by 14
n<1.5
we can't send 0.5 package so we round down
n<1

send less than 1 snack pack
