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

Catron evaluates the expression (negative 9) (2 and two-fifths) using the steps below.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Catron's error is

"She did not follow order of operations"

Step-by-step explanation:

Catron evaluates the expression (negative 9) (2 and two-fifths)

That expression can be written as below

(-9)(2\frac{2}{5})

Catron's error is

"She did not follow order of operations"

The corrected steps are

Step1: Given expression is (-9)(2\frac{2}{5})

Step2: Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction

(-9)(2\frac{2}{5})=(-9)(\frac{12}{5})

Step3: Multiplying the terms

(-9)(2\frac{2}{5})=-7\frac{-108}{5}

Therefore solution (-9)(2\frac{2}{5})=-7\frac{-108}{5}

Which linear equation has no solution?
attashe74 [19]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5x + 12 = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be no solution when the coefficients of x are the same on both sides of the equal sign and the constants are different. That is the case for ...

  5x + 12 = 5x - 7

This reduces to ...

  19 = 0 . . . . . no value of x will make this be true: NO SOLUTION
