If you start with 85 milligrams of Chromium 51, used to track red blood cells, which
has a half-life of 27.7 days.
How long will it take for 90% of the material to decay?

Answers

Answer 1

About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to decay.

The mass of radioisotopes ([tex]m[/tex]), measured in milligrams, decreases exponentially in time ([tex]t[/tex]), measured in days. The model that represents such decrease is described below:

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass, in milligrams.[tex]m(t)[/tex] - Current mass, in milligrams.[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, in days.

In addition, the time constant is defined in terms of half-life ([tex]t_{1/2}[/tex]), in days:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]m_{o} = 85\,mg[/tex], [tex]t_{1/2} = 27.7\,d[/tex] and [tex]m(t) = 8.5\,mg[/tex], then the time required for decaying is:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau = \frac{27.7\,d}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau \approx 39.963\,d[/tex]

[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -(39.963\,d)\cdot \ln \frac{8.5\,mg}{85\,mg}[/tex]

[tex]t\approx 92.018\,d[/tex]

About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to decay.

SOMEONE PLEASE BE FAST!!! Which pair of fractions and mixed numbers have a common denominator of 42?

Three and two-thirds and Five-sevenths
Two and one-sixth and Three-fourths
Five and three-fourteenths and One-fifth
One and four-sevenths and Five-eighths

Answers

Answer:

It's the first one. Why?

I converted all the mixed fraction into simplified form.

3 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] to [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] +  [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

I divided the denominator of 11/3 by 42. 42/3=14

and 5/7. 42/7, which is 6.

So I concluded the first answer was right because it didn't work out for the other variables.

I hope the answer was right, and I hope you have a great day luv. Bye!

what percentage of this grid is shaded

how many more squares need to be shaded so that 60% of the grid is shaded?

Answers

Answer:

44%, and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The grid has 5 rows and 5 columns so we have 5*5 = 25 squares.

25 squares represent 100 %  of the grid

a) In the grid 11 of the 25 total squares are blue, so if

25 squares are 100%

11 squares will be x%

x= (11* 100) / 25 = 1100/ 25 = 44 %

b) we find the number of squares that gives us 60 %

25 squares are 100%

x squares will be 60%

x= (60*25)/ 100 = 15

The question is " How many more squares " so we have to compare with the 11 given ones in part a)

15 -11 = 4

4 more squares will give 60 %  blue grid.  

The answer should be 25 squares is 100 percent

2. acute (equilateral or equiangular)

3. obtuse

5. acute

Answer:

Triangle number one is a right triangle. Triangle two is an equilateral triangle. Triangle three which is below triangle one is an obtuse triangle. The fourth triangle is an acute triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

One is a right triangle because it has one right angle.

Two is an equilateral triangle because all of the three angles are 60 degrees.

Three is an obtuse triangle because one of the three angles is more than 90 degrees.

Finally, 4 is an acute triangle because all of the three angles are less than 90 degrees

An Uber ride costs a flat rate to start the ride and then charges an additional amount per mile. By the 3rd mile, the total cost of the trip is $9. By the 7th mile, the total cost is $17. What is the flat rate that Uber charges and how much does it cost per mile?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is

ride cost c = mile rate r × miles m + flat rate f

c = r×m + f

now let's put the values in we know and solve for r and f :

9 = r×3 + f

17 = r×7 + f

now, since one term is the same in both equations, we use a simple trick for speed, and we subtract the whole first equation from the second :

17 = r×7 + f

- 9 = r×3 + f

-------------------

8 = r×4 + 0

r = 8/4 = $2

9 = 2×3 + f = 6 + f

f = $3

the first rate is $3, and it costs $2 per mile.

A train goes at a constant speed. It can travel 150 miles in 2 1/2. How long will it take that train to travel 100 miles

Answers

Answer:

  1 2/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

At constant speed, the time is proportional to the distance.

  time/distance = 2.5 h/150 mi = x /100

  x = 100(2.5/150) h = 5/3 h = 1 2/3 h

It will take the train 1 2/3 hours to travel 100 miles.

As there doesn't appear to be a full question, I guess you want me to tell you the definition of complementary.

Complementary and Supplementary angles are when angles make up 90 degrees or 180 degrees respectively, the order being:

+ Supplementary Angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees

+ Complementary Angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees.

So in this context, it means that the sum of the degrees of angles 9 and 10 are equal to 90 degrees.
