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

Four mathematicians, three physicists, and an engineer are to be seated equally spaced around a circular table. How many differe
Vesna [10]

First, we can choose the seats for the four mathematicians.  Then we seat the physicits, then the engineer.  There are 4! ways to seat the mathematicians, then 3! ways to seat the physicists, then 1! ways to seat the engineer.  But then we must divide by 8, because we can rotate the table, so there are 8!*4!*3!/8 = 725760 ways to seat everyone.
