66.7% is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A country has 50 million people, 30 million of whom are adults.

Of the adults, 5 million are not interested in working.

5 million are interested in working but have given up looking for work.

5 million are still looking for work.

Of those who do have jobs, 5 million are working part time but would like to work full time, and the remaining 10 million are working full time.

Total labor force = Employed people + Unemployed  people

=> 15 million+ 5 million = 20 million

The labor force participation rate is

= 66.66% ≈ 66.7%.

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
