Morphine is administered to a patient intravenously with an initial amount of 12 mg. About 35.2% of the morphine in a patient's body is metabolized and leaves the body each hour. Which one of the following models the amount of morphine remaining in the body for 1-minute periods of time?

The amount of morphine remaining in the body decreases by 35.2% each hour. Therefore, the amount of morphine remaining after 1 minute is 100% - 35.2% = 64.8% of the previous amount. The equation for the amount of morphine remaining after t minutes can be modeled by:

Amount remaining at time (t) = 12*(0.648)^t

Therefore, the correct model for the amount of morphine remaining in the body for 1-minute periods of time is:
