Answer:

7.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the time using the radioactive decay rate formula is given as:

t = t½ × In(Nt/No)/-In2

Where

t½ = half life = 6 minutes

No = Initial Amount = 260 grams

Nt = Amount after decay

= 113 grams

Hence:

t = 6 × In(113/260)/-In2

t = 7.2131331036796 minutes

Approximately = 7.2 minutes

Stella [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2+20)=80

4+40=80 (Distribute)

4+40-40=80-40(Subtract from both sides of the equation)

4=40(Simplify)

4/4=404/4(Divide both sides of the equation by the same term to get x=10)

=10

A coconut is a fruit that is made up of a hard outer shell that is spherical. Inside, there is a thick layer of coconut meat tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

V = 18816.57 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to find the volume of the inner sphere. Try to picture the coconut as a circle with another circle inside of it. We know that the bigger circle is 55 inches wide, and the distance between the circumferences of the circles is 11 inches. that means the inner circle is 55 - 2(11) inches wide. This is because we have 11 inches of coconut meat on either side of the inner circle.

55 - 2(11) = 33 inches

The radius is half of the diameter, so r = 16.5 inches.

Now just use the formaula V = \frac{4}{3}\pi  r^{3}

V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (16.5)^3

V = 18816.57 in^3

<em>Also, just a side note.. this is one big coconut..</em>
