Answer:

the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem.  With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Step-by-step explanation:

for the mass y( in grams)

y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.

the initial mass is at t=0 , then

y= 23 grams  → should be 16 grams

half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years

the correct equation should be

y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0

then after 150 years  → t= 150

y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams

then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

If there were only sandwiches bought, there would be 15, if there were only salads bought there would be 20. There’s probably more than one possibility, but that’s the best I can do, considering how long it’s been since I’ve done this type of problem. I’m all the way to learning determinants, so I really have to think to remember these. Sorry in advance if this doesn’t help at all, I’m not the best at this, but I can still try.
