Notice that 242 = 4*60.5. This means after 242 minutes, the sample decays to \dfrac1{2^4}=\dfrac1{16} of its original amount. So you end up with

\dfrac{100\,\mathrm g}{16}=\boxed{6.25\,\mathrm g}

Margarita [4]

Answer:

6 7/8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the entertainment segments are each x minutes long. Then, we have the equation:

x + x + 1 1/4 = 15

2x + 1 1/4 = 15

2x = 15 - 1 1/4

We need a common denominator. 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 15 = 60/4, so we now have:

60/4 - 5/4 = 55/4. Then: 2x = 55/4

Divide by 2 from both sides:

(55/4) / 2 = 55/8 = 6 7/8

Thus, each entertainment segment is 6 7/8 minutes long.

Hope this helps!

Which quadratic function has a wider graph than y=2x^2?
ioda

so all those quadratics have their parent y = x², which has the graph of a "bowl".

and depending on the coefficient, the bowl is wider or not.

the larger the coefficient, the narrower the bowl, the smaller the coefficient, the wider the bowl.

well, 1/2 is smaller then 2, thus y = (1/2)x² is wider than y = 2x².
