Answer: 349.0 gms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay equation is given by :-

y=A(1-r)^t , where A= Initial value , r = rate of decay in decimal and t is time.

As per given , we have

A= 640 gm

r= 7.3%=0.073

Then , our decay function will become :-

y=640(1-0.073)^t\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=640(0.927)^8

At t= 8 minutes, we have

y=640(0.927)^8= 348.993908894\approx349.0

Hence, after 8 minutes , the remaining amount of element = 349.0 gms.

Answer:

349.0 grams to nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

After each minute there will be  (100- 7.3) = 92.7 %  ( or 0.927) of the element left.

Therefore after 8 minutes amount left = 640*0.927^8

= 349.0 grams   answer

Brut [27]

there are 24 dogs, each one gets 8oz of dog food twice a day, so for 1 day only that'd be 16 oz, for 7 days for 1 dog only that'd be 16+16+16+16+16+16+16 oz or 112oz, just for 1 dog alone for 7 days(week).

now, there are 24 dogs, each one gets 112oz every week, 24 * 112 ounces.

Diego's age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister's age s. This situation is represented
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

d-5=2s

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego's age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister's age s.

The equation used to represent it is :

d = 2s +5

We need to find the equivalent equation for the above equation.

If we take 5 to LHS of the equation, it will become -5 such that,

d-5=2s

Hence, option (b) is the equivalent equation.

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date, a $0.30 fee is charged at midnight. Which ordered pair is a viable solut
Murrr4er [49]
Let's say the number of days library book is late is X, and the total fee is Y.

Liability charges $0.30 dollars as a fee for being 1 day late,

For being 1 day late, fee charge is: 1* $0.30
So, for X days the charge would be: X*$0.30.

Total charge for being X days late is Y, Which means: Y= 0.30 * X.

Now We would have to check all the viable solutions in the answer to see if they satisfy the equation Y= 0.30 * X

Option one(-3, -0.9) and two (-2.5, -0.75) Would not be a viable solution because the value of number of days can not be negative and in option one and two, value of days -3 and -2.5 is negative.

Option three(4.5, 1.35) can not be correct because library charges fee for a full day so the number for days would be a whole number. Library would not charge for 4.5 days, they would either charge of 4 days or 5 days because 4.5 is not an whole number.


Option four(8, 2.40) is the correct answer because it satisfies our equation;

Y= 0.30 * X

2.40= 0.30 * 8

2.40 = 2.40.


Fourth option (8, 2.40) is the only viable solution to this question.

Blizzard [7]

Answer: C. 461

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z^*\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

, where \sigma = Population standard deviation from prior study.

E = margin of error.

z* = Critical value.

As per given , we have

\sigma=125

E= 15

Significance level : \alpha=0.01

Critical value (Two tailed)=z^*=z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576

Now , Required sample size = n=(\dfrac{(2.576)\cdot 125}{15})^2

n=(21.4666666667)^2\\\\ n=460.817777779\approx461 [Round to next integer]

Hence, the required sample size to be taken is 461.

Correct answer = C. 461
