Emil is running a lemonade stand. He sells half of his lemonade in the morning, a quarter of what was left at lunchtime, and a t

masya89 [10]

Emil starts the day with 16 liters of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

A hospital prepares a 100mg supply of technetium-99m which has a half-life of 6 hours. what is the decay factor?

SashulF [63]

For a half- life, the formula is
A(t) = A0(0.5)^( t / t_0.5)
where A(t) is the amount of substance at time t
A0 is the initial amount of subtance
t_0.5 is the time it will reduce its amount to half
t is the time

substitute the given to the formula
A(t) = 100(0.5)^( t/6 )
so the decay factor is 0.5^( t/6 )

A bottle of water costs $1.50. Explain how you would make a graph of four ordered pairs to model the total cost of the water in

Vanyuwa [196]

Total cost = 1.50 per bottle
y = 1.50x
If x = 1, y = $ 1.50 (1,1.5)
If x = 2, y = $ 3.00 (2,3)
If x = 3, y = $ 4.50 (3, 4.5)
If x = 4, y = $ 6.00 (4, 6)
There are your 4 sets of ordered pairs to graph.
You could continue with more x-values to get more ordered pairs.

Please help! In circle Y, what is m? 82° 100° 106° 118°

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct option is: 82°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given diagram, two chords $RT$ and $SU$ are intersecting.

According to the Angle of intersecting chord theorem, "If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle."

That means here......

$94\°=\frac{1}{2}(m\widehat{RS}+m\widehat{TU})\\ \\ 94\°=\frac{1}{2}(106\°+m\widehat{TU})\\ \\ 2(94\°)=106\°+m\widehat{TU}\\ \\ 188\°=106\°+m\widehat{TU}\\ \\ m\widehat{TU}=188\°-106\°=82\°$

So, the measure of arc $TU$ is 82°
