Harry Potter has a potion that can change voracious vampires into harmless hobbits. But the chemical evaporates over time and when the concentration in the potion is too weak, it turns the vampires into destructive Demogorgons. Oh no! The half-life of the potion means the amount of time it takes for the potion to lose half of its existing power, measured in magical units. This potion has a half-life of 2 months. Which statement about the potion's strength is correct? * a. Of the original 160 magical units, 5 magical units are left after 10 months of mixing the potion. b. Of the original 160 magical units, 16 magical units are left after 10 months of mixing the potion. c. Of the original 160 magical units, less than 1 magical unit is left after 10 months of mixing the potion. d. Of the original 160 magical units, 20 magical units are left after 10 months of mixing the potion e. Of the original 160 magical units, 80 magical units are left after 10 months of mixing the potion.

Answer:

im going to say c

Explanation:

if its has 160 units and goes to half-life after 2 months im assuming it loses 1/2 of the units so in order for it to lose that many it will have to lose 40 units a month so i say its c after 10 months there will be less than 1 unit in the potion

hope this helps im sorry if im wrong have a blessed day :)
