Answer:

46.36% or 46% (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

110-59=51

Question now: What percent of 110 is 51

Step 1: We make the assumption that 110 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

tep 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%= 110.

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=51.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100% = 110(1)

x%=51(2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x%=110/51

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x%/100%=51/110

⇒=46.36%

You have 42,784 grams of a radioactive kind of curium. If its half-life is 18 years, how much will be left after 72 years?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

2,674.14 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for radioactive decay is

N = N₀ e^(-λt)

where,

N is the amount left at time t

N₀ is the initial amount when t=0, (given as 42,784 g)

λ = coefficient of radioactive decay

= 0.693 ÷ Half Life

= 0.693 ÷ 18

= 0.0385

t = time elapsed (given as 72 years)

e = exponential constant ( approx 2.7183)

If we substitute these into our equation:

N = N₀ e^(-λt)

= (42,787) (2.7183)^[(-0.0385)(72)]

= (42,787) (2.7183)^(-2.7726)

= (42,787) (0.0625)

= 2,674.14 g

ladessa [460]

The riddle given by Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes is:

217 is to 335
896 is to 543
345 is to ____

We need to find the missing number of the third pair of the riddle. This is a ratio and proportion problem.

217/ 335 = 896/ 543 = 345 / x

The value of x is 209.

Answer:

$x=\ln{y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The natural logarithm function is the inverse of the natural exponential function.

$\text{power}=\text{base}^{\text{exponent}}\\\\\text{exponent} \: =\: \log_\text{base}{\text{power}$

are equivalent.
