metric is nice because everything is in multiplules of 10
and also this exerpt from a book "<span>In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter,
weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one
degree centigrade which is 1 per cent of the difference between its
freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the
same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American
system the answer to <em>'How much energy does it take to boil a
room-temperature gallon of water?'</em> is go **** yourself because you
can't directly relate any of those quantities "</span>
The amount of the element remaining (y) in grams after time (t) in minutes is defined by the equation y=970(1-.151)^t. Substitute t=14 into the equation and solve for y. y=970(.849)^14=98.06 rounded to two decimal places.
