Answer:

0.5158

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay of a given material is used to describe the process by which a material decreases in size and amount over a specific period of time. The material will decay with respect to its decay factor. Therefore, if the 10-hour decay factor is approximately 0.2661, the 5-hour growth/decay factor will be: (0.2661)^(5/10) = (0.2661)^0.5 = 0.5158.

Answer:

0.5158

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 10 hour Sergio's decay factor = 0.2661

First calculate for 1 hour decay factor

1 hour decay factor = (10 hour decay factor)^1/10

= (0.2661)^1/10

1 hour decay factor = 0.8760

Therefore to calculate for 5 hour decay factor

5 hour decay factor = (1 hour decay factor)^5

= (0.8760)^5

= 0.5158
