Answer:
a.) 4 half lives have passed
b) 9.388 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:
Where 
is the final population
is the initial population
is the growth factor
is the time taken for the growth 'b'
is the amount of time
Here, we are given that:
= 6. 9 grams
= 110.4 grams
min
To find:
a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.
b.) Total time in the decay.
Solution:
a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to 
.
Putting the values in the formula, we get:
Therefore, the answer is:
<em>4 half lives </em>have passed.
b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of here.
From answer of part a.):
Let's set up an equation.
so we know the answer is -13.
1/3 of a number (our variable) can be written as 1/3n.
8 less than that would be subtracting 1/3n by 8
so we have -13 = 1/3n - 8.
To solve:
Add 8 to both sides: -5 = 1/3n
Multiply both sides by 3 (to cancel fraction): -15 = n
You can check by plugging -15 into the equation we made.
Answer: 36÷4=9
Step-by-step explanation:
I think it says thirteen divided by thirteen and it will equal thirteen with a remainder of two hope this helps you out
what's up? to convert this into a fraction, simply multiply 12.3/1 by 10 in order to get 123/10. you can also do it by seeing .3 is in tenths, so it would be 3/10. you are left with 12 (whole number) so 12 3/10 which is also 123/10
best of luck with your studies
