Answer:

0.015625 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we start with say 100g of the material, in 10 years there is 100 * 1/2 =

50g left   ( = 0.5 left).

In 20 years there is 100*(1/2)^2 = 25 g  left.

In n*10 years there is  100(1/2)^2 g

So in 60 years there is 100(1/2)^6 = 1.5625 g left

This is 1.5625 %

= 0.015625 of the origin material left.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

decrease by 2.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.
