52 = 50
512= 500
500/50 = 10
The slope is 1. The picture will show you why.
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
Answer : The substances half life in days is, 5.6 days.
Step-by-step explanation :
Half life : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.
The relation between the half-life and rate constant is:

where,
k = rate constant = 0.1235 per days
= half-life
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


Thus, the substances half life in days is, 5.6 days.
