Fermium-253 has a half life of three days. A sample contains 400 g. How long will it take for the sample to decay to 100 g?

1 answer:

4 0

After the first three days, the sample size will be half of the initial; therefore, 400g/2= 200g. However, it is asking how long will it take to decay to 100g, so we will take 200g/2= 100g, which will take another three days. It will take 2 half-lives, which will encompass 6 days.

Start at negative 5 since that’s your y-intercept.
Since 3/5 is your slope and slope equals rise over run you go up 3 units and go right 5 units.
