Answer: He is Incorrect, It's 38

Work: For this question, I did the Cross-Product Method. The Cross Product Method is when you solve equation via to fractions. With the CPM, One one side of the fraction, I had x / 20 (Twenty being the whole number) and on the other side, I had 190/100 (190 being the percent) After setting this up, I made the equation. 190 times 20 is 3800, and the other multiplication is 100 times x which is 100x. So, the new equation is 3800 = 100x. I divided both sides by 100, and the answer is 38 = x

Answer:

No, Marcus is not correct. He converted the percent to a decimal correctly and he multiplied correctly, but he put the decimal in the wrong place in the answer. There should be two decimal places in the answer, so the answer should be 38.

The half-life of a radioactive kind of neodymium is 11 days. If you start with 2,616 grams of it, how much will be left after 22

Ket [755]

Answer:

654 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

When you set up this equation you want the number of grams you start with, 2616, and the factor by which it is decreasing, which is half, or 1/2. Because the half life is 11 days, but you want to find the amount left over after 22 days, you can make 22/11 as the exponent on the 1/2. The equation should look like this : 2616(1/2)^22/11. With these kinds of equations you always want to multiply the starting value by the factor of increase/decrease, and raise that factor to the time eclipsed divided by the set time(like the 11 day half life).

At a zoo, 3 pandas eat a total of 181 1 2pounds of bamboo shoots each day. The male panda eats 3 times as much as the baby. The

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

6037.2 pounds of bamboo shoots does the female panda eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pandas = 3

Total bamboo shoots eaten = 18112 pounds

Let baby panda eats bamboo = x

Male panda eats bamboo= 3x

Female panda eats bamboo = 2x

So, the equation will become

$x+3x+2x=18112$

Now solving the equation to find value of x

$x+3x+2x=18112\\6x=18112\\x=\frac{18112}{6}\\x=3018.6$

The value of x we get : x=3018.6

So, baby panda eats bamboo shoots = 3018.6 pounds

Male panda eats bamboo shoots = 3x = 3(3018.6) = 9055.8 pounds

Female panda eats bamboo shoots = 2x = 2(3018.6)= 6037.2 pounds

So, 6037.2 pounds of bamboo shoots does the female panda eat.
