Answer:
Per hour decay of the isotope is 0.96%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of radioactive element remaining after t hours is represented by
where a = initial amount
t = duration of decay (in hours)
Amount remaining after 1 hour will be,
y = 0.9904a
So amount of decay in one hour = a - 0.9904a
= 0.0096a gms
Percentage decay every hour = 
= 
= 0.958 %
≈ 0.96 %
Therefore, per hour decay of the radioactive isotope is 0.96%.
Answer:
The boiling point of water is between 84 °C and 88 °C when the elevation is between 3.4 and 4.6 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want x such that ...
84 ≤ B(x) ≤ 88
84 ≤ 100 -3.5x ≤ 88 . . . . substitute for B(x)
-16 ≤ -3.5x ≤ -12 . . . . . . . .subtract 100
4.6 ≥ x ≥ 3.4 . . . . . . . . . . .divide by -3.5; this reverses the inequality
5y = 4x + 20
- 4x + 5y = 20
Answer:
x = 0.5, one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
6+1 = -6x + 10
7 = -6x + 10
-3 = -6x
6x = 3
x = 3/6
x = 1/2
x = 0.5
3/4, 7/16, 5/8.....LCD = 16
3/4 = 12/16
7/16
5/8 = 10/16
