how much of a radioactive kind of yttrium will be left after 20 hours if you start with 720 grams and half-life is 10 hours

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

180 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that after each half life ,  the radioactive substance will become half of the initial .

Given half life of the radioactive yttrium is 10 hours .

So, in 20 hours two half lives will be present .

After first half life , substance will become half of initial ,

Initially it was 720 grams , so it will become 360 grams after first half life that is 10 hours .

Now , after second half life , It will again become half of the quantity present after first half life which is 360 grams so it will become 180 grams.

Thus,

After 20 hours only 180 grams of the yttrium will be present.

2. A convenience store sells two brands of orange juice. Brand A contains 8 fluid ounces and
costs $1.28. Brand B contains 12 fluid ounces and costs $1.68. What is the difference in cost, in
dollars, per fluid ounce between the two brands of juice?

Answers

Answers with working:

1.

Cost of a crate of floor tiles = $95.94

The crate has 6 boxes of floor tiles. This means 6 boxes of tiles cost $95.94

Now each box has 20 floor tiles.

So, total tiles in a box are : t=6*20=120 tiles

Now, cost of 6 boxes = $95.94

So, cost of 1 box (b) = b=(95.94)/(6) = $15.99

20 tiles cost $15.99

Hence, 1 tile (t) will cost = (15.99)/(20) = $0.799 ≈ $0.80

2.

Brand A contains 8 fluid ounces and  costs $1.28.

Cost of per fluid ounce = (1.28)/(8) = $0.16

Brand B contains 12 fluid ounces and costs $1.68.

Cost of per ounce = (1.68)/(12) = $0.14

Difference between both the per ounce costs = 0.16-0.14 = $0.02

1. b = $95.94 / 6
       = $15.99

    t = $15.99 / 20
      = $0.80

2. A: $1.28 / 8 = $0.16 per oz
    B: $1.68 / 12 = $0.14 per oz 

    Difference: $0.02 per oz

I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!The Patronete Winery's tastiest wine must have a 12% alcohol content. How many gallons of wine with a 9% alcohol content must be mixed with 3,000 gallons of wine with a 15% alcohol content in order to achieve the desired 12% alcohol content?

Answers

Answer:

3000 gallons of 12 percent is required

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula

percentage * amount + percentage * amount =  percentage*total amount

We have 9 percent and 15 percent wine that we are mixing to get 12 percent wine.

We are adding g gallons and 3000 gallons to get a total of (g+3000) gallons

Substituting this information in

.09 *g + .15 * 3000 = .12 (g+3000)

Distribute

.09g +450 = .12g+360

Subtract .9g from each side

.09g-.09g +450 = .12g-0.09g+360

450 = .03g + 360

Subtract 360 from each side

450-360 = .03g

90 =.03g

Divide each side by .03

90/.03 = .03g/03

3000 = g

A rental car company charges a fixed fee of $30 plus $0.05 per mile. Let C represent the total cost of renting a car and driving it M miles

Answers

We know that renting the car will cost $30, regardless of whether you drive it any where or not
So far
C = $30
On the end of this equation, we want to be able to add another value, that can vary depending on the quantity of M (number of miles)
The second value is $0.05 multiplied by how many miles are travelled
Also expressed as $0.05M

Finally, just fix the two parts together

C = $30 + $0.05M

3. jamal found the mean hourly wage of employees at his company using the data in the table. In a report he stated, “The typical salary at the company is about $23.00 per hour”. How is this graph misleading? 6.50 6.50 6.50 6.50 6.50
6.50 6.50 7.50 7.50 7.50
7.50 7.50 7.50 7.50 7.50
60.00 65.00 75.00 75.00 75.00
A. The mean is not a good measure of the salaries because five employees have salaries far above fifteen employees’ salaries.
B. The mean of the data is not about $23.00.
C. Jamal should always use the highest wage
D. His statement is not misleading

4. which display is best to determine the relationship between the number of hours worked and the amount of money paid.
A. histogram with intervals of 5
B. histogram with intervals of 3
C. line plot
D. line graph

Answers

3. is A.

This is because the extreme values from the 5 employees affect the mean greatly, making it seem like a higher value, even though it is low.

4. is D. 

By creating a line graph, you will be able to see the relationship easily between the two factors, and even create a line of best fit.
