Do you have any clue what this is?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

hint: \(\bf half-life\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

If an object has a half-life of 1 day that means in one day, only half of it will be left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it might be D. Nothing

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

so if an object has a half-life of 300 years, then how much will be left after 300 years?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nothing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right................?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nothing will be left right?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh they would be 1/2 left? (geez I am dumb)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
