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.):
When the number is positive, its opposite is less than the number.
9 ==> -9 . . . . . . less
72 ==> -72 . . . . less
324 ==> -324 . . less
When the number is negative, its opposite is greater than the number.
-8 ==> 8 . . . . . . greater
-3/4 ==> 3/4 . . . greater
-429 ==> 429 . . greater .
We've seen that the opposite can be less, and it can also be greater.
I guess that means that it's sometimes greater.

Answer:
20 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
The living room is made up of white trim and blue surface area between the walls. Since the ratio of the blue surface area between the walls to the white trim is given by 1 : 10.
Also 2 gallons of blue paints are used for the walls, let x represent the number of white paint used in gallons. Hence:
number of white paint in gallons = [1 / (1 + 10)] * total number of paints = 1 / 11 * total number of paints
2 = 1/11 * total number of paints used
total number of paints = 22 gallons
number of white paint (x) = [10 / (1 + 10)] * total number of paints = 1 / 11 * total number of paints
x = 10/11 * 22
x = 20 gallons
Therefore 20 gallons of white paint was used
let the unknown answer be equal to f
.-2.1 - f = -3/2
-f = -3/2 + 2.1
-f = 0.6
f = -0.6
