5 0

Answer:

  9990 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function with given values filled in can be solved for the unknown using logarithms.

__

  Q(t) = 12 = 36e^(-0.00011t)

  1/3 = e^(-0.00011t) . . . . . . divide by 36

  ln(1/3) = -0.00011t . . . . . . take natural logs

  t = ln(1/3)/(-0.00011) . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

  t ≈ 9990 . . . years

Arturiano [62]
<span>Use the formula below to find the volume of the beach ball.
Remember that the radius is one-half of the diameter.
 V=3/4 pi r^3 =4/3(3.14)(9 in)^3 =3,052.08
Therefore, the beach ball has a volume of 3,052.08 cubic inches when it is completely full.

8. A goldsmith has 130 grams of a gold alloy (a mixture of gold and one or more other metals) containing 85% pure gold. How
Tatiana [17]

Answer: 65 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If 130 grams of a gold alloy (a mixture of gold and one or more other metals) containing 85% pure gold, you should first calculate the amount of gold that makes up this percentage.

That is, 85% of 130 grams.

85/100 × 130 = 110.5

Then, let X be what will be added to the above value to make 90%. So,

(110.5 + X) / ( 130 + X ) × 100 = 90

Divide both sides by 100

(110.5 + X) / ( 130 + X ) = 90/100

(110.5 + X) / ( 130 + X ) = 0.9

Cross multiply and open the bracket

110.5 + X = 117 + 0.9X

Collect the like terms

X - 0.9X = 117 - 110.5

0.1X = 6.5

Divide both sides by 0.1

X = 6.5/0.1

X = 65 grams

Therefore, the amount of pure gold that should be added is 65 grams

A concrete mix calls for 3 buckets of sand for every gallon of water. How much water is needed for 1 bucket of sand?
mojhsa [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a proportion:

3 buckets / 1 gallon = 1 bucket / x gallons

Cross multiply and solve:

3x = 1

x = 1/3

You need 1/3 of a gallon of water.
