The half life of a radioactive substance is 10 years. If 64 grams are placed in a container, how much will remain after 50 years?

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

50 years is 5 half lives as 1 half life is 10 years.

64 divide 2 = 32-1 half life

32 divide 2 =16-2nd half life

16 divide 2 = 8-3rd half life

8 divide 2 = 4-4th half life

4 divide 2 = 2-5th half life

This means we will have 2 grams left of the radioactive substance after 50 years.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

4 candies

step-by-step explanation:

7 x 28 = 196

200 - 196 = 4 candies remaining.
