A radioactive substance decays exponentially with a half-life of 500 years. After 1500 years, what percent of the radioactive ma

terial remains?

12.5%, every 500 years you take away half of the substance (50%) -> 25% -> 12.5%
you divide your number 3 times because 1500/500=3

Sheila can ride her bicycle 6,000 meters in 15 minutes. How far can she ride her bicycle in 3 minutes? please help im retarted

pogonyaev

Answer:

The answer is 1,200 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So what I did was find the rate so we want to know how much Sheila can do in just 1 minute first so you would have to do 6,000/ 15 which gives you 400 so he does 400 meters in just 1 minute. So then you would have to multiply 400 by 3 which gives you 1,200, making that your answer.

hope that helped!

The circle with center O has a minor arc BSA with a length of

tangare [24]

Answer:

D. $\frac{27\pi}{2}$ inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the circle with center O has a minor arc BSA with a length of $3\pi^{2}$ inches. The central angle is 40°.

To find the circumference of circle we will use formula:

$\frac{\text{Central angle}}{2\pi}=\frac{\text{Arc length}}{2\pi r}$ , where $2\pi$ = measure of 360 degrees in radians and $2\pi r$ = circumference of circle.

Let us convert measure of central angle into radians.

$40^{o}=\frac{40*\pi}{180} =\frac{2\pi}{9}$

Upon substituting our given value in the formula we will get,

$\frac{\frac{2\pi}{9}}{2\pi}=\frac{\frac{3\pi}{2}}{2\pi r}$

$\frac{2\pi}{18\pi}=\frac{3\pi}{4\pi r}$

$\frac{1}{9}=\frac{3}{4r}$

Cross multiplying we will get,

$4r=27$

$r=\frac{27}{4}$

Hence, the radius of our circle is 27/4 inches.

Since the circumference of circle is $2\pi r$ . Upon substituting $r=\frac{27}{4}$ we will get,

$2\pi r=2\pi* \frac{27}{4}=\frac{27\pi}{2}$

Therefore, circumference of our given circle will be $\frac{27\pi}{2}$ inches and option D is the correct choice.
