The amount of strontium that will remain after 40 hours is 5 g

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 10 hours
  • Time (t) = 40 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 40 / 10

n = 4

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 80 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 4
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 80 / 2⁴

N = 80 / 16

N = 5 g

Divide and write in simplest form 4/7 divided by 1 1/7
IrinaVladis [17]

First, change the mixed fraction into improper fraction

1 1/7 = 7/7 + 1/7 = 8/7

(4/7)/(8/7)

To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division into multiplication

(4/7)/(8/7) = (4/7) x (7/8)

Multiply, and simplify

(4/7) x (7/8) = 28/56, or 1/2

1/2 is your answer

hope this helps

The area of a trapezoid is 60 square inches. One of the bases is 8 inches long. The height is 6 inches long. What is the length
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h(b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Given h = 6, b₁ = 8 and A = 60 , then

\frac{1}{2} × 6 × (8 + b₂ ) = 60 , that is

3(8 + b₂ ) = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )

8 + b₂ = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

b₂ = 12

The length of the second base is 12 inches

A farmers productions statistics finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens will be needed
Lelu [443]

Answer:

8 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the number of eggs produced by a single chicken in 24 hours.

Since 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24hours, this means 1 chicken will produce 3 eggs in 24 hours.

Now, we need 24 eggs to be produced. Since the time is the same 24hours, meaning time is constant, the number of chickens required to produce 24 eggs will be 24/3 = 8 chickens

Hence, we can say that 8 chickens will produce 24eggs in 24 hours
