An element with mass 510 grams decays by 26.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 7 minutes, ?

Respuesta :

Answer: The element is remaining after 7 minutes = 60.23 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for mass decay :

[tex]A=A_0(1-r)^t[/tex], where [tex]A_0[/tex] = initial mass, A = mass after t minutes.

Given: [tex]A_0=510\ grams[/tex]

r = 26.3% = 0.263

t = 7 minutes

[tex]A=510(1-0.263)^7\\\\=510(0.737)^7\\\\=510(0.118106123435)\approx60.23\ grams[/tex]

Hence, the element is remaining after 7 minutes = 60.23 grams

Answer:

Its the sames steps as the other answer but round the decimal instead of 60.23 do 60.2 because the ,23 is rounded to the nearest 10th i think thats how i got it right
