We know that there are 16 girls. That is the first part of the ratio. Now, it says girls to students, which mean you have to add up the total of girls and boys together. 12+16=28. There are 28 students in total. Now, you have the ratio of 16:28. But, it says simplified...so we need to divide both sides of the ratio by a number. Let's choose 4 because 4 can go both into 16 and 28. 16/4=4. 28/4=7. So, the simplified ratio of girls to students in the classroom is 4:7.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

-29/20

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosecant function is the inverse of the sine function. Both sine and cosecant are odd functions, meaning csc(-x) = -csc(x) = -1/sin(x).

csc(-θ) = -1/sin(θ) = -1/(20/29) = -29/20

Answer:

5089.4cm³ (rounded to 1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder = $\pi$ × r² × h

Volume of cylinder = $\pi$ × 9² × 20

= 1620 $\pi$

= 5089.4cm³ (rounded to 1 d.p.)

When studying radioactive material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365 days, 1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 973 co

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

A. number of decayed atoms = 73.197

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer we need to use the radioactive decay equation:

$N(t)=N0*e^{kt}$ where:

N0=initial radioactive atoms

t=time

k=radioactive decay constant

In our case, when t=0 we have 1,000,000 atoms, so:

$1,000,000=N0*e^{k*0}$

$1,000,000=N0$

Now we need to find 'k'. Using the provied information that after 365 days we have 973,635 radioactive atoms, we have:

$973,635=1,000,000*e^{k*365}$

$ln(973,635/1,000,000)/365=k$

$-0.0000732=k$

A. atoms decayed in a day:

$N(t)=1,000,000*e^{-0.0000732t}$

$N(1)=1,000,000*e^{-0.0000732*1}$

$N(1)= 999,926.803$

Number of atoms decayed in a day = 1,000,000 - 999,926.803 = 73.197

B. Because 'k' represents the probability of decay, then the probability that on a given day 51 radioactive atoms decayed is k=0.0000732.
