Answer:

40.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 8 minutes. If there are 480 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 14 grams?

The formula to find how long it would take which is the time elapsed is given as:

t = t½ × In(Nt/No)/-In2

t = ?

t½ = 8 minutes

Nt = Amount after the time of decay = 14 grams

No = Original Amount of substances = 480 grams

t = 8 × In(14/480)/-In2

t = 40.796285388407 minutes

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 40.8 minutes

Therefore, it would take the element X, 40.8 minutes to decay to 14 grams

Answer:

$2 \frac{9}{28}$ gallons of ice tea is left with Morris

Step-by-step explanation:

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea. He gives 3/7 of it to her friend.

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea

$2\frac{3}{4}= \frac{2*4+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

He gives 3/7 of it to her friend.

To find how many gallons of ice tea does Morris have left , we subtract 3/7 from 11/4

$\frac{11}{4}- \frac{3}{7}$

Make the denominators same

$\frac{11*7}{4*7}- \frac{3*4}{7*4}$

$\frac{77}{28}- \frac{12}{28}$

$\frac{65}{28}$

$\frac{65}{28} = 2 \frac{9}{28}$
