What percent of iodine has decayed if 5 half lives have passed?

Hello!

A half-life is the amount of time it takes half of an element to decay. For example, after one of carbon's half-life, half of carbon would've decayed.

Now, we can calculate how much has decayed if 5 half lives have passed.

1 -> 50% (1) -> 25% (2) -> 12.5% (3) -> 6.25% (4) -> 3.125% (5)

Therefore, there would be 3.125% left of iodine. However, your question is asking what percent has decayed. Therefore, subtract 3.125 from 100% to get your final answer.

100 - 3.125 = 96.875

Therefore, your final answer is 96.875% of iodine has decayed if 5 half lives have passed.

Hope this helps!

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

elderly, specifically 50-74.

Explanation:

According to macmillan.org, the risk for cancer increases with age.

https://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/...cancer/what-is-cancer.html

If we are to go off of percentages, I would say a higher percent of children (per capita) get chemo, as it is a lot harder to say, "oh well i will die soon anyways" with a child.

“The study of cell biology is directly
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

I agree.

Explanation:

Cell biology and technology are so connected that there is even a science called biotechnology, which is the literal union of these two strands.

Biotechnology is an area that aims to develop biological products and processes with the help of science and technology. The United Nations (UN) classifies biotechnology as "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derived beings, to manufacture or modify products or processes for specific uses".

Biotechnology covers different areas of knowledge that include basic science (such as molecular biology, microbiology, etc.), applied science (such as immunological, chemical and biological techniques) with different technologies (such as information technology, robotics and process control).
