Question

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TY
You go to the doctor and he gives you 15 milligrams of radioactive dye. After 20 minutes, 7.25 milligrams of dye remain in your system. To leave the doctor's office, you must pass through a radiation detector without sounding the alarm.

If the detector will sound the alarm if more than 2 milligrams of the dye are in your system, how long will your visit to the doctor take, assuming you were given the dye as soon as you arrived?

Give your answer to the nearest minute.

How many minutes will you spend at the doctor's office?

Answer 1

Answer:

 =34 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Done according to my own understanding!

15mg - 7.25mg = 7.75mg

   7.75mg / 20min = 0.3875mg per minute

       7.25mg - 2mg = 5.25mg

             5.25mg / 0.3875mg = 13.5483871 minutes

                     13.5483871 minutes + 20 minutes = 33.5483871 minutes

                                  =34 minutes.
