Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe harry knows the answer...? you should try asking him
Remember that the general decay equation is:

where

is the amount after a time


is the initial amount

is the the decay percent in decimal form
The first ting we are going to do is find

by dividing our <span>decay rate of 25% by 100%: </span>

.
We also know from our problem that

. Lets replace

and

in our formula:


We know now that our decay rate is 0.75, and since 0.75<1, we can conclude that
this situation represents exponential decay.
Now, to find the initial amount, we are going to solve our equation for

:


Notice that

will depend on the number of ours

Yes the fractions are equivalent. 5/5 is another equivalent fraction
Short answer: 2 * sqrt(13)
Remark
There are a number of ways to look at this. I'll pick the easiest.
Step one
Factor 52 until there are no more prime factors to be used.
52 = 2 * 26
52 = 2 * 2 * 13. That's as far as you can go.
Rule
For every 2 equal prime factors, 1 of them can be taken out side of the root sign. The other one disappears.
sqrt(52) = sqrt(2*2* 13) = 2*sqrt(13)
Answer 2sqrt(13) <<<< answer
