After 1 hour, 360 g decays to 180 g.

After another hour (total 2 hours), 180 g decays to 90 g.

After another hour (total 3), 90 g decays to 45 g.

After one more (total 4), 45 g decays to 22.5 g.

More quickly, with a half-life of 1 hour, the 360 g of starting material decays to

(360 g) / 2⁴ = 22.5 g

In general, if the half-life is 1 hour, then after <em>n</em> hours, an initial amount <em>A</em> of this substance decays according to

<em>A</em> / 2<em>ⁿ</em>

(02.01 LC) Simplify 4 over 7 ÷ 3 over negative 8. negative 32 over 21 negative 3 over 14 3 over 14 32 over 21
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(4/7)÷ (3/-8). Division of fractions is the same as multiplying their reciprocals. So (4/7) x (-8/3). Now multiply the numerators together and denominators together (make sure you only use the negative sign once). (4 x -8) / (7 x 3) = -32/21
