What fraction of a sample of 6832ge, whose half-life is about 9 months, will remain after 2.9 yr ?

The half-life of 9 months is 0.75 years. 2.0 years is 2.0/0.75 = 2.67 half-lives. Each half-life represents a reduction in the amount remaining by a factor of two, so: A(t)/A(0) = 2^(-t/h) where A(t) = amount at time t h = half-life in some unit t = elapsed time in the same unit A(t)/A(0) = 2^(-2.67) = 0.157 15.7% of the original amount will remain after 2.0 years. This is pretty easy one to solve. I was happy doing it.

Ithink that the use of creativity in the sciences entails that one produce something out of nothing or from another thing. with this, i think that the he wrote down his results as four parts of the atomic theory is the manifestation of the  creativity of john dalton.
