Answer:

12 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

15/5 = 3 half lives

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive decay problems are very similar to compound interest formulas, except the rate is subtracted from one, instead of adding to one.

I.e.

mass at time t, m(t) = M (1 - r)^(t/h)

where

M = initial mass (grams)

m (t) mass left at time t (grams)

h = half-life in number of days

r = 0.5 from "half-life"

t = time lapse in number of days

Here

M = 96

h = 5

t = 15

m(15) = 96(1-0.5)^(15/5)

= 96 (1/2)^3

= 12 grams

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

10.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours she babysat last week subtract 5 from 11 which is 7 hours. 7 hours is equal to 2/3 of the many hours. If she babysat h hours last week then solve for h using 2/3 h = 7.

Solve the equation by multiplying each side by the reciprocal.

3/2 * 2/3h = 7*3/2

h = 21/2

h = 10.5 hours
