Based on the information given, the number of milligrams that will remain after 59 hours will be 13.125 milligrams.

Since after 40 hours, 25 mg of the substance has been removed, therefore, the rate per hour will be:

= 25/40 = 0.625.

The amount that will be removed in 59 hours will be:

= 59 × 0.625 = 36.875

The number of milligrams that will remain will be:

= 50 - 36.875 = 13.125 milligrams

What is 2 thirds plus 3 fourths
Zina [86]
In order to find this you need to find a common denominator. 2/3 and 3/4 common denominator would be 12 and so what you do to the bottom you must do to the top. 2x4 is 8 and 3x3 is 9. that would make 8/12 and 9/12. 8 plus nine is 17 and 12 stays there so the answer is 17/12 which equals 1 and 5/10.

HELP ME PLEASE ASAP?!?What is the value of y?
Snezhnost [94]
Answer: y = 57°

Explanation: 180-114 = 66°

A triangle has a total of 180° so 180-66 = 114

114 / 2 = 57° (because angles y and y have the same value)

Hope this helps :)
