The atomic number of cadium is half the atomic number of curium. Define a variable and write an expression for the atomic number of cadmium. I'm working in a group with my friends and we need help we're not the same people.

My, your computer is busy -- with 8 people using it at about the same time.

Besides, between the 8 of you, some of you must have some idea of how to approach these problems.

Please post your attempts at answering these questions.

To solve this problem, let's define a variable to represent the atomic number of cadmium. Let's call this variable "x".

According to the given information, the atomic number of cadmium is half the atomic number of curium. Since we don't have the atomic number of curium explicitly given, we'll use another variable to represent it. Let's call the atomic number of curium "y".

Using this information, we can now write an expression for the atomic number of cadmium, which is half the atomic number of curium:

x = (1/2) * y

In this expression, "x" represents the atomic number of cadmium and "y" represents the atomic number of curium.

Remember, when working with word problems like this, it's important to define variables to represent the unknown quantities, then write equations or expressions based on the given information.
