This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay problems where the time units are mismatched. It specifically practices calculations related to scenarios where the decay happens over different time periods such as hourly, daily, weekly, and annually. Multiple-choice questions ask learners to determine the rate of decay given a start and an end value over a certain period, requiring manipulation of formulas to align time units appropriately. This involves transformations and simplifications of the exponential decay formula to solve real-world problems like decreasing toxin levels or fund depletions at different intervals.
