Two friends argue over who brushes their teeth more often. to settle the
argument, they keep track of the number of mornings and nights they brush
and calculate a probability. these are shown in the table.
braxton
arabella
0.85
0.79
probability of brushing
in morning
0.72
0.81
probability of brushing
in evening
who is more likely to brush both morning and evening?

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60

If, while training for a marathon, you ran 60 miles in 2/3 months, how many miles did you run each month? (assume you ran the same amount each month) write your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form. you ran __ miles each month.
