- I need to know the number of years! There is only one part to this question. The pictures show the "Figure" and "Bar charts" tabs and the "Graph" tab says this: A curve showing the percentage of radioactive atoms remaining in a mineral sample is graphed on a coordinate plane. The horizontal axis, labeled "Age in half-lives," ranges from 0 to 6. The vertical axis, labeled "Percentage remaining," ranges from 0 to 100. The curve enters the viewing field with a negative slope at (0, 100). The magnitude of the negative slope is progressively reduced such that it is nearly horizontal as it exits the viewing field at (6, 0.02). Thank you!!arrow_forwardCompare the following lengths using density calculations. Gold has a density of about 19.3 g/cm3. You are now given a cubed piece of gold that has a mass of 19.3 g in the form of a cube is 1 cm long on each side. If we now double the mass of gold to 38, 6 g then what would be the length of the sides of a cube that has twice this mass of gold?arrow_forwardHelp finding the right answer and why?arrow_forward
