Question at position 16 Initially, three are 50 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The substance decays according to the equation N = 50e-0.01t, where N is the number of milligrams present after t hours. The number of hours it takes for 10 milligrams to remain is−ln⁡(0.01)5-\frac{\ln\left(0.01\right)}{5}50e−0.150e^{-0.1}−ln⁡(15)0.01-\frac{\ln\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)}{0.01}−15ln⁡(−0.01)-\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\ln\left(-0.01\right)}−15ln⁡(0.01)-\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\ln\left(0.01\right)}
