There's a 50 gram sample of our ra-229 it is half-life is 4 minutes how much will be left after 12 minutes

6.25 grams of Ra-229

To find this, set up a chart. Start the first row with the original mass and the time of zero as half lives haven't started.

For the next row, halve the amount and set the time to four. Continue this process until twelve minutes as you halve the last amount given.

Hope this helps!

linda: 3 ; laura: 15

step-by-step explanation:

note that linda + laura's age is 18, and that linda is 12 years younger than her sister.

let "linda" = x , "laura" = y:

x + y = 18

x = y - 12

first, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:

(y - 12) + y = 18

simplify.

2y - 12 = 18

isolate the variable (y). note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. do the opposite of pemdas. first add, then divide.

2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)

2y = 18 + 12

2y = 30

(2y)/2 = (30)/2

y = 30/2

y = 15

next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).

x = y - 12

x = (15) - 12

x = 3

linda's age is 3, laura's age is 15.
