Answer:

  349.0 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining can be modeled by an exponential function of the form ...

  remaining = (initial amount)(1 - decay rate)^t

  q(t) = 640(1 -0.073)^t

  q(8) = 640(0.927^8) ≈ 349.0 . . . grams

The amount remaining after 8 minutes is about 349.0 grams.
