The half-life of radioactive radon gas is 3.8 days. How much of 100 mg of the gas will be left after 9 days? 23.4 mg 14.7 mg 19.4 mg 36.7 mg

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many times does 3.8 go into 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.3 times

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2.368 time, so its gonna split in half that many times

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so im guessing we have 100*(1/2)^(2.368)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
