Answer:

<h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the half like of a material to be 8.3 hours and the amount of iron-52 left after t hours is modeled by the equation A(t) = A_0 a^{t}, we can get A(t) as shown;

At t = 8.3 hours, A(8.3) = 1/2

Initially at t = 0; A(0) = 1

Substituting this values into the function we will have;

\frac{1}{2} = 1 * a^{8.3}\\\\Taking \ the \ log \ of\ both \ sides;\\\\log(\frac{1}{2} ) = log(a^{8.3} )\\\\log(\frac{1}{2} ) = 8.3 log(a)\\\\\fr-0.30103 = 8.3 log(a)\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by \ 8.3\\\\\frac{-0.30103}{8.3}  = log(a)\\\\log(a) = - 0.03627\\\\a =10^{-0.03627} \\\\a = 0.919878 (to\ 6dp)

lisov135 [29]
To find unknown part of a whole when there are two parts, subtract the part you do know from the whole. Subtract the lbs of pears from the total lbs. 5.12 lbs total - 2.5 lbs of pears = 2.62 lbs of bananas. 2.62 lbs of bananas is your answer.(my name is actually Hannah so I couldn't resist answering.)

How many 4/5 cup servings are in 4/9 of a cup of yogurt
kolbaska11 [484]
For this question, you need to understand how to divide fractions.First we line up our fractions appropriately:
4/9 ÷ 4/5 = ?         (You want to divide 4/9 by 4/5)
4/9 × 5/4 = ?         (Now we use the reciprocal of 4/5 and multiply instead of divide)
4 x 5 = 20 and 9 x 4 = 36.       (Cross multiply.)
20/36 = 5/9.           (Simplify to lowest terms.)
So, 4/9 divided by 4/5 is 5/9!But 5/9 is more than 4/9, so the answer is 0 :PCorrect me if I'm wrong.
