Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The different isotopes have different "half-lives" – the time it takes to lose half of its radioactivity. Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years and Pu-241's half-life is 14.4 years. Substances with shorter half-lives decay more quickly than those with longer half-lives, so they emit more energetic radioactivity.

Find the greatest possible error for each measurement. 10 1/8 oz

Answer:

0.0005 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, the greatest number that is allowed for approximation, assuming that the number itself is obtained by approximation, is the greatest possible error of it.

It is normally half the place value of the last digit in a number.

Like here we have $10\frac{1}{8}$ oz which is equal to $10.125$ oz. The last digit is 5 which is at the thousandth place (0.001) so the greatest possible error for this would be its half.
