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

Determine the rate and the unit rate. $279 for 9 tickets. $18 for 6 volleyballs. 4 fouls in 20 minutes. 36 strikeouts in 54 inni
sergejj [24]
<span>The rate is the ratio and the unit rate is the rate when the denominator is 1.


$279 for 9 tickets.

=> rate = $279 / 9 tickets => unit rate = $ 31/ ticket

 $18 for 6 volleyballs.

=> rate = $ 18 / 6 volleyballs =>  unit rate = $ 3 / volleyball

4 fouls in 20 minutes.

=> rate = 4 fouls / 20 minutes => unit rate = 0.2 fouls / minute

36 strikeouts in 54 innings.

=> rate = 36 strikeouts / 54 innings => unit rate = 0.67 strikeouts / inning
