I HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION LIKE 8 TIMES TODAY AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME:( PLEASE HELP ME I BEG YOU GUYS!!!A radioactive substance decays at a rate of 2% per day. If there are 50 grams of the
substance left after 34 days, how much was there at the beginning of the 34 days?
Round to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

156.25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, for starters we know that the substance decays by 2% each day and its been decaying for 34 days. Therefore, the substance has decayed by 68%        

34 x 2 = 68

Hence, 50 grams is 32% because the substance has already decayed by 68%

100 - 68 = 32

So now we know 50 grams is 32%. Now we need to find how much 100% is.

50 - 32%

X   - 100%

We cross multiply.

50 x 100 = 5000

And divide.

5000 / 32 = 156.25

Thus, in the beginning, there were 156.25 grams in the substance.

Hope this helps! :)

15 people working 5 hours per day can make 30 units of a product in 10 days. Assuming all other factors remain constant and people of the same efficiency are used to make the same products, in how many days can 10 people make 10 units of the product if each of them works 10 hours per day?

Answers

It will take 10 people working 10 hours per day about 2.5 days to make 10 units of the product.

From the statement of the question; 15 people working 5 hours per day can make 30 units of a product in 10 days. Hence, the number of units that can be made in a day is;

Number of units per day = (15*5*10)/30

= 25 units/day

Now; if 10 people make 10 units, working 10 hours per day, it will take them x number of days.

x =  (25*10)/10*10

x = 2.5 days

a container was 1/2 filled with water. When 200 ml of water was poured out, it became 1/3 full. Find the capacity of the container in milliliters.

Answers

x=whole capacity
(x/2)=original amount
orginal amount-200=x/3
so
(x/2)-200=x/3
subtract x/2 from both sides
-200=(x/3)-(x/2)
make denomenators same
x/3 times 2/2=2x/6
x/2 tiimes 3/3=3x/6
now we have
-200=2x/6-3x/6
-200=-x/6
multiply both sides by 6
-1200=-x
multiply -1
1200=x

capacity is 1200 ml
