When a substance degrades exponentially over time, the amount of time required for half of the substance to remain is called the half-life of the substance.
The half-life of a pesticide is 10 years. A farmer initially applies 200 grams of the
pesticide to a fence post.
Complete the following statements.
After 20 years, there are
grams of pesticide left. Round your answer
to the nearest whole gram.
After 60 years, there are
grams of pesticide left. Round your answer
to the nearest hundredth of a gram.
After
years, there are approximately 1.03 grams of pesticide
left. Round your answer to the nearest whole year.
