The answer should be A. In order to solve these half-life problems, I encourage you to find an algebra calculator online, and plug in these numbers. The remaining grams goes in front, so 3.


The entire equation should look something like 3 = 15(1/2)^t/4.95


The 4.95 represents how long it takes before the sample halves, t is your answer, 1/2 represents the value halving every 4.95 hours, 15 is the initial sample size, and 3 is the end result that remains.


The overall answer should be about 11.5 hours, as per an algebra calculator.

Hope this helps solve any other similar problems

Which function will produce the same graph as the function shown below?
pav-90 [236]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The function that will produce the same graph as the function y=(x+1)(x-3) would be <span>y=x^2-2x-3. Both equations are the same. You can confirm it by simplifying the equation. Hope this answers the question.</span>
