Half of the starting amount remains after 1 half-life. So after 6 half-lives, the starting amount is halved 6 times, meaning that a 195 g sample would decay down to

(195 g)/2^6 = 195/64 g ≈ 3 g

A company has made a rubber ball for $0. 02 per square foot. The company wants to spend a maximum of $1 each on a new ball.
Misha Larkins [42]

The diameter of the new rubber ball, to the nearest foot, must be D =  4.0 ft (in the case of the maximum cost).

<h3>How to find the diameter of the ball?</h3>

Remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the surface area is:

A = 4*pi*(D/2)^2

In this case, the cost is $0.02 per square foot, and the company wants to expend (at maximum) $1 per ball, so first we need to solve:

$0.02*A = $1

A = $1/$0.02 = 50

So the surface of the ball must be 50 square feet.

Then we solve:

50ft^2 = 4*3.14*(D/2)^2

D = 2*√(50 ft^2/(4*3.14)) = 4.0 ft
