Answer:
a. 281.25 grams
b. The 500 represent the original amount of aspirin.
c. 3/4 tells us what amount of the aspirin remains after every hour.
d's answer is in the picture. Just copy the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
A is the only part that needs any explanation.
Since the t represent hours, I'll subsititute t for 2.
500 * (3/4)²
3/4 squared is 9/16.
500 * 9/16
Multiply 500 by 9 to get 4500.
4500/16
Simplify 4500/16 to 1125/4 (4 is canceled out.)
1125/4
Divide 1125 by 4 to get 281.25
281.25
281.25 grams of aspirin will be in the patient body after two hours.
