Answer:

It will take 15.029 years for element X to reach mass of 260 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life period of radioactive element X is 26 years

The initial mass of radioactive element X is 260 grams

Elapsed time = half life * log (beginning amount /ending amount)/log 2

Substituting the given values, we get

Elapsed time = 26 * log (390/260)/log 2

=  15.209 years

Answer:

5 inches out of a foot would be a fraction 5/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a foot is 12 inches, your bottom number of the fraction (the one on the right) would be 12 inches and the 5 inches would go on the top of the fraction (or, on the left; depends on how you write it).
