In order to find this out, let's convert both of them into percents. Since 17.5 is already a percent, we only have to convert 1/6 into a percent. To convert 1/6 into a percent, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator. If you do that, you will get 0.1666..... as a repeating decimal. Now, multiply the decimal by 100 or just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to get the percent. If you do that, you will get 16.6%. Since it is a repeating decimal, you can round it to 16.7%. So, 17.5% is larger than 1/6.
Hope it helps :)
I believe the correct answer is D)
Answer:
3.48 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is:
Where
M(t) is the amount of medication remaining in mg
t is the time it takes, in hours
The questions asks HOW LONG it will take to make the remaining medication to 1 milligrams (1 mg)??
We have to substitute M(t) with "1" and find the corresponding value of "t". We will use natural log to solve this. Shown below:
<u>Note: </u> Ln(e) = 1
This means, the amount of time it will take is about 3.48 hours
