1/2 would not be a useful benchmark to compare these 2 fractions because both of them are greater than half. The benchmark fraction 1/2 is most useful when one fraction is less than half and the other more than 1/2. 5/8 is more than 4/8(1/2), and 9/10 is more than 5/10(1/2).
Use the communicative property of addition to switch to order and you get
13 - 5, so the answer is 8, or k = 8
OR
-5 + 13 = k
Combine like terms
8 = k
or
k = 8<span />
Answer:
the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem. With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
Step-by-step explanation:
for the mass y( in grams)
y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.
the initial mass is at t=0 , then
y= 23 grams → should be 16 grams
half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years
the correct equation should be
y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0
then after 150 years → t= 150
y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams
then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
Divide by each number below it and find that each does not come out to a whole number except for dividing by 1
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply the vector by a scalar, multiply each of the elements by the scalar.
To add 3 vectors add the corresponding elements of each vector
2a + 3b + 4c
