How many milligrams of zinc ions do the trout need to be exposed to in order for them to survive exactly one minute after exposure?

Answer:
1770
Step-by-step explanation:
No calculator is needed.
When you fill in the numbers, you get ...
1 = (x/1770)^(-0.8)
The only way the value will be 1 is if the fraction is 1:
x/1770 = 1
The only way the fraction will be 1 is x = 1770.
1770 mg Zn ions per liter will be lethal in 1 minute.
