Question

Grace starts with 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 1/4 each week for a number of weeks, w. She writes the expression 100(1/4)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks.

Answer 1

Explanation:

There is the answer.

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

Each week the amount of radio active material is 100*(1/4)^x which is correct.

So at the end of 4 weeks she will have

amount = 100*(1/4)^x

amount = 100*(1/4)^4

amount = 100 * (1/256)

amount = 0.390625 grams after 4 weeks.
