Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, is in multiples of 10.

Explanation:

The metric system refers to an internationally acclaimed decimalized system of measurement. It is used globally, and it is the most usual or the only system of measures and weight in the places where it is adopted.  

As the metric system is a decimal system of measures and weight, it is easy to transform in between the units, for example, from grams to kilograms, or from millimeters to meters, basically by dividing or multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, and others. Usually, this is the case of moving the decimal point to the left from the right.

How much of a sample remains after five half-lives have occurred?
timama [110]

Answer:

1/32 of the original sample

Explanation:

We have to use the formula

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N= amount of radioactive sample left after n number of half lives

No= original amount of radioactive sample present

t= time taken for the amount of radioactive samples to reduce to N

t1/2= half-life of the radioactive sample

We have been told that t= five half lives. This implies that t= 5(t1/2)

N/No = (1/2)^5(t1/2)/t1/2

Note that the ratio of radioactive samples left after time (t) is given by N/No. Hence;

N/No= (1/2)^5

N/No = 1/32

Hence the fraction left is 1/32 of the original sample.
