25/100 = 1/4 of the original sample.

The "half-life" must pass twice, yielding (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4 of the original sample.

The half-life of Carbon-14 is listed as ( 5,730 ± 40 ) years.

Twice that is ( 11,460 ± 80 ) years

What happens to the quotient when the dividend and divisor are mutiplied by the same number?

As long as the number is not zero, the quotient remains unchanged. If the multiplier is zero then the quotient is undefined.


What are the examples of rules in rounding numbers?

If the number to be dropped is less than 5, the number before it remains unchanged. Round the following number, so that the 4 is to be dropped. 2.6354 rounds to 2.635. If the number to be dropped is greater than 5, the number before it is rounded up. Round the following number, so that the 6 is to be dropped. 9.4046 rounds to 9.405. If the number to be dropped is 5, the number before it remains the same if it is an even number and is rounded up if it is an odd number. 2.685 rounds to 2.68 because 8 is an even number. 7.3075 rounds to 7.308 because 7 is an odd number.


What is identity in math?

In mathematics, identity is a transformation that leaves an object unchanged. In addition and subtraction, the identity element is zero. Adding or subtracting zero to or from a number will leave the original number. In multiplication and division, the identity element is one. Multiplying or dividing a number by one will leave the original number.


What happens when you add 0 to a number?

What is the divisibility of 3?

Add the digits of the number together and if the sum is divisible by 3 then the original number is divisible by 3. The test can be applied to the sum and so the summation can be repeated until a single digit remains; if this digit is 3, 6 or 9 then the original number is divisible by 3.
