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

Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel. 4 years ago, Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4 years ago, Daniel would've been 4 and Kevin would be 20, so Kevin would've been 5 times as old as Daniel. And 8 x 3 = 24. So, Kevin is 24.

ANEK [815]
For the answer to the question above asking, w<span>hat was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time?
let x be the number of cans he bought
the let us go to the 2nd statement which is t</span><span>he next time Ian purchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price.
The equation for this is .10(x-1) = 24
So now let's solve, 
</span> .10(x-1) = 24
.10x - .10 = 24
.10x = 24+ .10
.10x = 24.10
Then divide both sides by .10
So the answer for this question is 
241 cans of juice

The following data show the weight, in ounces, of 10 different bags of candy:
LuckyWell [14K]
B) is correct; on average, each bag of candy has a weight that is 2.6 oz different than the mean weight of 5 oz.

To find the mean absolute deviation, we first find the mean.  Find the sum of the data points and divide by the number of data points (without the outlier, 21, in it):
(10+3+7+3+4+6+10+1+2+4)/10 = 50/10 = 5

Now we find the difference between each data point and the mean, take its absolute value, and find their sum:
|10-5|+|3-5|+|7-5|+|3-5|+|4-5|+|6-5|+|10-5|+|1-5|+|2-5|+|4-5| =
5+2+2+2+1+1+5+4+3+1 = 26

We now divide this by the number of data points:
26/10 = 2.6

This is a measure of how much each bag of candy varies from the mean.
