Please help me with this problem, thank you.

i'm assuming it's looking for the missing length, which should be 4cm

hope this !

b. 153 students do not participate in sports and seventy-five 12th graders were surveyed

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain
