Question

the first table is about Ratebof Background emission "counts/min", and the second table is about the counts of radioactive decay of excited molecules "counts per every 20" second. To correct the radioactive molecules counts, I need to subtract it from backgroud. However, since their units are different, I do not know how to correct.
Thank you~~

Table 2 B-Rate of Background emission: [counts/min] 42 29 28 29 37 24 31 31 25 29 25 18 12 14 24 12 18 24 19 17 25 13 67636068852 890124 1 5678 55555666 680246802468 6336037077505228 8013567990123455 3444444445555555 0000.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24680246802468 3333444445555566 4143894216707 6801356 81111222233333 0146913 468024680

Answer 1

divide the every number of columns one of table 2 by 60 that will give you counts per second now multiply this number by 20 which will give you counts per every 20 seconds now you can subtract it
