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

Solve the quadratic. x^2+8x+3=0
Reil [10]
Factor
find wht 2 numbers add to 8 and multiply to 3
none do

use quadratic formula which can be used when
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}}-4ac }{2a}

a=1
b=8
c=3

x=\frac{-8+/- \sqrt{8^{2}-4(1)(3)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{ -8+/- \sqrt{64-12} }{2}
x=\frac{ -8+/- \sqrt{52} }{2}
x=\frac{ -8+/- 2 \sqrt{13} }{2}
x=-4+/- \sqrt{13}

x=-4+ \sqrt{13} or x=-4- \sqrt{13}
aprox x=-7.60555 or x=-0.394449
