Answer:

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

50 years is 5 half lives as 1 half life is 10 years.

64 divide 2 = 32-1 half life

32 divide 2 =16-2nd half life

16 divide 2 = 8-3rd half life

8 divide 2 = 4-4th half life

4 divide 2 = 2-5th half life

This means we will have 2 grams left of the radioactive substance after 50 years.

A School decides to organize field trips for all students. Tickets for first years were sold at GH¢0.40 per student and continui
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up a system of equations.

Let's say that the number of tickets bought by students in the first year is x, and the number bought by continuing students is y. From there, you can set it up like this:

0.4x+0.2y=160

x+y=500

Now, you can multiply the first equation by 5 on both sides to get:

2x+y=800

Subtracting the second equation from the first equation now yields:

x=300

y=200

Since 300 of the 500 tickets bought were from the first year students, and 300/500 is 0.6, 60% of the students who bought the ticket were first year students. Hope this helps!

gavmur [86]

Answer:

z+42+42=180

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are the same and remember all the angles add to  180. So use this equation:

z+42+42=180

If you need to find z, it is 96.

Check: 96+42+42=180

The number of hours, h, that Mr. Hampton works varies directly with the number of tasks, t, he has to perform. If he has 6 tasks
olga2289 [7]

i think its 2.5 because 15/6= 2.5 so 2.5t=h and the equation is kt=h so 2.5 makes the most sense.

I hope this helps
