You can set it up as a proportion like so....
<u>9.6</u> = <u>9</u><u>
</u> 1 x<u>
</u><u>
</u>9.6x = 9
<u />x = 9/9.6
x = 0.9375 hrs
<h2>
Answer: 816 years</h2>
This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula:
</u>
<u />
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the material
is the initial amount of the material
is the time elapsed (the quantity we are asked to find)
is the half life of americium-241
Knowing this, let's find from (1):
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
<u></u>
<u>Finally:</u>
