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

When is g(x) = 0 for the function g(x) = 5.2 3x + 4?
kicyunya [14]
G(x) = 0 can never happen.

When x is 0, the answer is 4
When x is 1, the answer is 19.6
When x is 4, the answer is 66.4

According to Wolfram Alpha though, x is equal to -(10/39). If that's not a choice for you, don't worry about it. :)
