Answer:

10.8 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay equation:  A=A_0e^{-rt}

A_0 is the initial amount (at time t = 0, "noon")

<em>r</em> is the decay rate

You have two pieces of information:

Noon   t = 0  A_0=50

3:00 pm  t = 3  A=30

Plug those in to get  30=50e^{-r(3)}

Divide by 50.

0.6=e^{-3r}

Take the natural log of both sides.

\ln(0.6)=-3r

Divide by -3.

\frac{\ln{(0.6)}}{-3}=r\\\\r \approx .17027

Now, for 9:00 pm, use this value of <em>r</em> and  t = 9.

A=50e^{-.17027(9)} \approx 10.8

5. Daniel arrives at his campsite out of breath from his swim and jog. His sister tells him that he should have swam to the boat
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

<em>Daniels sister is not correct because the time that will be taken by Daniel will be greater than the initial total time taken by Daniel.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First determine the time it will take Daniel to reach the Boat and the jogging time</u>

time = distance / rate

where distance can be calculated using this equation: sin 53° = 400 / x

hence x ( distance ) = 500 ft

rate = 150

therefore Time ( t )  to reach boat = 500 / 150 = 3.33 minutes

Time for jogging ( as calculated ) = 3.69 minutes

therefore total time taken by Daniel = 3.33 + 3.69 = 7.02 minutes

<u>Finally determine if Daniel's sister is correct that he should have swam to the boat ramp and then jogged </u>

lets assume Distance to swim  =  x  ( according his sister )

determine the value of x = \sqrt{400^2 + 1400^2 }   therefore X = 1456.02 feet

∴

Total time to be taken if Daniel follows his sister's instruction  = 1456.02 / 150 = 9.71 minutes

<em>Daniels sister is not correct because the time that will be taken by Daniel will be greater than the initial total time taken by Daniel.</em>

There are 30 books on the library shelf, Sam noted that 1/6 of them are non fiction. Dan notes that 3/5 of the books are fiction
ehidna [41]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiction books:  (1/6) of 30 books = 5 books

Non-fiction books:  (3/5) of (30) books = 18 books

The subtotal here is 5 + 18, or 23.  

23 of the books are either fiction or non fiction.

30 - 23, or 7, of the books remain (are neither fiction nor non-fiction).
