  • We are to find the time (number of minutes) is would take for 23 mg of the substance to be remaining.

  • The formula for time is written as:

t =  [t1/2 x In(Nt/No)]  / In 2

where:

t1/2 = Half life = 4 minutes

No = Initial quantity of the sample = 90 mg

Nt = Amount of the sample left = 23 mg

t =  time elapsed = ?

Hence,

t = [4 x In (23/90)] / -In 2

t = 7.8731645610906 minutes

Approximately to the nearest hundredth = 7.87 minutes

Therefore, there will be 23mg of substance remaining after 7.87 minutes.

Which scale would produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object?
STatiana [176]

Covert the ratios so they are all the same measurement type.

A. 5 feet = 5 x 12 = 60 inches.

The scale becomes 1:60

B. 1:30

C. 12 yards = 12 x 3 = 36 feet x 12 = 432 inches.

The scale is 12:432  = 1:36

D. 1 meter = 39.37 inches.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

39.37 x 2.54 = 99.99 inches

The scale converted to inches becomes 1 :100 inches.

The first number would be the size of the drawing, the second number is the size of the actual object

If you use all 4 scale factors for a real object that is 100 inches:

A would need 100/60 = 1.67 inches.

B would need 100/30 = 3.3 inches.

C would need 100/36 = 2.78 inches.

D would need 100/100 = 1 inch.

The larger scaled drawing would be B.

Y = -4x + 3<br> 8x + 2y = 8<br> Solve by using elimination.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The equations are not compatible

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x + 3

8x + 2y = 8

substitute for y:

8x + 2(-4x + 3) = 8

simplify:

8x - 8x + 6 = 8

6 ≠ 8

Question 1 through 6 . <br> THANKS.
Sergio039 [100]
Remember, these are quadrilaterals, so they must add up to 360°. Just add up the angles and then do 360 minus that number to solve for x. Therefore: 1. 118 + 90 + 99 = 307 360 - 307 = 53 2. 110 + 96 + 78 = 284 360 - 284 = 76 3. 48 + 118 + 97 = 263 360 - 263 = 97 4. 105 + 99 + 64 = 268 360 - 268 = 92 5. 103 + 63 + 113 = 279 360 - 279 = 81 6. 95 + 80 + 88 = 263 360 - 263 = 97
