Answer:
1/64
Step-by-step explanation:
10 = ½
20 = ¼
30 = ⅛
40 = 1/16
50 = 1/32
60 = 1/64
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.

im sorry if this dont help
2^-2 would become 1/2^2 which becomes 1/4.
Let's see
#a
Take 28
- (28)²
- (30-2)²
- 30²-2(30)(2)+2²
- 900-120+4
- 780+4
- 784
#2
Take 9,10
- 9³+10³
- (9+10)(9²-9×10+10²)
- (19)(81-90+100)
- 19(181-90)
- 19(91)
- 1729
