This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula:
</u>
<u />
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the material
is the initial amount of the material
is the time elapsed (the quantity we are asked to find)
is the half life of americium-241
Knowing this, let's find
from (1):
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
<u></u>
<u>Finally:</u>
<u>Find fraction of snappers and catfish:</u>
1/3 + 2/9 = 3/9 + 2/9 = 5/9
<u>Find fraction of goldfish:</u>
1 - 5/9 = 4/9
4/9 = 40 goldfish
1/9 = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
9/9 = 10 x 9 = 90
Answer: 90 fish in the tank
