Answer:

  8.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A model of the fraction remaining can be ...

  f = (1/2)^(t/37) . . . . t in hours

So, for the fraction remaining being 86%, we can solve for t using ...

  0.86 = 0.5^(t/37)

  log(0.86) = (t/37)log(0.5)

  t = 37·log(0.86)/log(0.5) ≈ 8.0509 ≈ 8.1 . . . hours

It takes about 8.1 hours to decay to 86% of the original concentration.

Jamaica is considering buying either a car which goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas, or a truck that goes 10 miles on a gallon of
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: if he drives the car each month, he would spend $150 lesser than when he drives the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/25 = 40 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a car, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 40 = $100

The truck goes 10 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/10 = 100 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a truck, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 100 = $250

The difference between both costs is

250 - 100 = $150
