The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The half-life of strontium-90 is about 29 years. How many half-lives have elapsed when 6.25% of a strontium- 90 sample remains in the container?

4 half lives

Explanation:

From;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N= amount of strontium-90 present at time t

No= amount of strontium-90 originally present

t= time taken

t1/2 = half life of strontium-90

But N= 0.0625No

Hence;

0.0625No/No = (1/2)^t/29

0.0625 = (1/2)^t/29

(1/2)^4 = (1/2)^t/29

4 = t/29

t = 4 × 29

t= 116 years

Hence four half lives have elapsed

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
