It can be up to 20 feet taller so add 20
To the width:
88 2/3 + 20 = 108 2/3
Divide total height by the height of one story:
108 2/3 / 15 = 7.24
The building can have 7 stories.
b. 7 x 15 = 105 total feet
108 2/3 -105 = 3 2/3 feet below the restrictions
A 33 gram sample has k value of .1124
(Actually I think the problem SHOULD be worded: A 33 gram sample has k value of -.1124/days)
See attached graphic:
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.1124/days

It's basic subtraction. you subtract 7 1/8 with 4 4/8 by turning one of the one from the seven to 8/8 and add that to 1/8 so you get 9/8. Then 6 9/8 - 4 4/8 = 2 5/8.
