I suck, i realize why it was hard lmao. I still don't know it though.

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Sorry, erased the question. It is found that 18 lb of A will reduce to 9 lb in 3.9 hr. How long will it be until only 1 lb left?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find k, remember ln(2)/k=half life.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the half life is 3.9; thus k=ln(2)/3.9

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

0.17773

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So then now what? o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the time until 1/18 of the original amount is left, take ln(18)/k

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

16!

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Jesus you're smart lol, thank god you're on here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
