a hiker in africa discovers a skull that contains 41% of its original amount of c-14. find the age of the skull to the nearest year

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7371 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Carbon-14 is reportedly about 5730 years. Then the exponential decay equation can be written as ...

  f = (1/2)^(t/5730)

where f is the fraction remaining after t years.

Taking logarithms and solving for t, we find ...

  log(f) = (t/5730)log(1/2)

  t = 5730·log(f)/log(1/2)

For the fraction f = 0.41, the age is approximately ...

  t = 5730·log(0.41)/log(1/2) ≈ 5730·1.286304 ≈ 7371 . . . years

The age of the skull could be estimated to be 7371 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = bh

Where,

A = area of the parallelogram

b = base of the parallelogram

h = height of the parallelogram

From the question, assume

b = 2.1 m

h = 6.3 m

A = bh

= 2.1 m × 6.3 m

= 13.23 m²

A = 13.23 m²

Sam took a total of 12 tests over the course of 6 weeeks if the continued to take tests at the same rate how many tests will Sam have taken after 28 weeks of school

Answers

Answer:

56 tests

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the amount of test he took each week. if we divide 12 by 6 (12 ÷ 6 = 2) we find out that he took 2 tests per week.

So if he continues with the same rate for the next 28 weeks of school, in order to find out how many tests he would have taken, we just need to  multiply 28 by 2 (28 × 2 = 56), which will be equal to 56

Kira looked though online census information to determine the average number of people living in the homes in her city

Answers

First we need to identify if the data is qualitative or quantitative.

The data is average number of people living in the homes.

Qualitative data as its name indicates is an attribute or characteristic. It can not be measured e.g color. Quantitative data is such a data which can be counted or measured.

Since the average number of people can be counted and measured, the data is Quantitative.

In an observational study the individuals are observed. In the given case, Kira did not observed the individuals to gather the data, rather she used an Online resource to gather the data.

Therefore, the correct answer will be:

Kira used published data that is quantitative.

in what ratio we increase 900 to get 1200​​

Answers

Answer:

4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the number we multiply to get to 1200 from 900 is x.

900x=1200

Now, we divide both sides by 900:

x=1200/900

x=4/3

The number is 4/3. In ratio form, this is 4:3

Answer:

3 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

      900  : 1200

= 30 x 30 : 30 x 40

=         30 : 40

=    3 x 10 : 4 x 10

=           3 : 4

Explanation

90+38+x+1.3=180

90+38

Add these numbers

=128

128+x+1.3=180

128+x+1.3

Add these numbers

128+1.3=129.3

129.3+x

129.3+x=180

129.3+x

sort elements

x+129.3=180

129.3

convert this to a fraction

1293/10

x+1293/10=180

x+1293/10=180

Move each term from the right to the left side and change a sign of every element

x+1293/10-180=0

x+1293/10-180

subtract these number

1293/10-180=1293/10-1800/10

=-507/10

x-507/10=0

f (x)=x-507/10

a=1

b=-507/10

x-507/10=0

move each number from the left a the right side and change a sign of every element

x=507/10

therefore x=50.7
