Clara is taking a medicine for a common cold. The table below shows the amount of medicine f(t), in mg, that was present in Clara's body after time t: t (hours) 1 2 3 4 5 f(t) (mg) 236.5 223.73 211.65 200.22 189.41 Heidi was administered 300 mg of the same medicine. The amount of medicine in her body f(t) after time t is shown by the equation below: f(t) = 300(0.946)t Which statement best describes the rate at which Clara's and Heidi's bodies eliminated the medicine?
 
Clara's body eliminated the antibiotic faster than Heidi's body.
Clara's body eliminated the antibiotic at the same rate as Heidi's body.
Clara's body eliminated the antibiotic at half of the rate at which Heidi's body eliminated the antibiotic.
Clara's body eliminated the antibiotic at one-fourth of the rate at which Heidi's body eliminated the antibiotic.

(I know its either C or D)

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is B. Clara's body eliminated the antibiotic at the same rate as Heidi's body.

Clara's table is multiplied by about .946 (223.73/236.5= about .946) making Clara's equation 249.99(.946)

The difference between Clara and Heidi is that Heidi was administered 300mg while Clara was given approximately 249.99mg to begin
