A chemist analysed a sample of boron obtained from a mineral. She found that 20% of the boron atoms in the sample were boron-10 and 80% were boron-11.
Use the chemist's results to calculate the relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr) of the boron in this sample. Your answer should be given to one decimal place.
