Nick starts with 20 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 12 each week for a number of

weeks, w. He writes the expression 20(12)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks. Autumn starts with 1 milligram of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 50% each week for a number of weeks, w. She writes the expression (1−0.5)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Nick's and Autumn's expressions mean.

A tortoise makes a journey in two parts; it can either walk at 4cm/s or crawl at 3cm/s. If the tottoise walks the first part and
Ugo [173]

Answer:

120

240

Step-by-step explanation:

We call the length of first part x

Length of second part = y

In the first scenario, it took the tortoise 110 sec to walk the first part and crawl the second.

So,

We have this equation,

x/4 + y/3 = 110

We take the LCM

(3x + 4y)/12 = 110

When we cross multiply

3x + 4y = 110x12

3x + 4y = 1320 ----- equation 1

For scenario 2

x/3 + y/4 = 100

When we take the LCM

(4x + 3y)/12 = 100

We cross multiply

4x + 3y = 100x12

4x + 3y = 1200 ------ equation 2

We now have two equations and we will solve for x and y using simultaneous linear equation.

3x + 4y = 1320 ----- 1

4x + 3y = 1200 ----- 2

We subtract equation 2 from 1 to get

- x + y = 120

We make y subject

y = x + 120 ----- 3

We put the value of y in equation 3 into equation 1

3x + 4(x + 120) = 1320

3x + 4x + 480 = 1320

7x + 480 = 1320

7x = 1320-480

7x = 840

We divide through by 7

x = 840/7

x = 120

We put value of x in equation 3

y = x + 120

y = 120 + 120

y = 240

120 and 240 are the lengths of the 2 parts of the journey.

Thanks

-- If the spinner is honest and the sections are all the same size, then
each section should have an equal chance of being landed on.

-- If there are 4 sections, then the chance of landing on each one
should be  1/4  or  25%.

-- The chance doesn't depend on how many times you try it.
If there are 4 sections, then each one should come up
25% of the time.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

B - the expression given is 2 timex as large at (2,230 + 829)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 by each set of numbers then add.

2X 2230 = 4460

2x829 = 1658

Add them together

4460+1658 = 6118
