After 100 hours, the fractional part of the battery BB still operating is 50.01100=0.3685^{-0.01 \cdot 100} = 0.368.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The fractional part of a battery that is still good after tt hours is given by B=50.01tB=5^{-0.01t}.
2. We want to find the fractional part of the battery still operating after t=100t=100 hours.

STEP 2

To find the fractional part of the battery still operating after 100 hours, we substitute t=100t=100 into the given formula.
B=50.01tB=5^{-0.01t}

STEP 3

Now, plug in t=100t=100 into the equation.
B=50.01×100B=5^{-0.01 \times 100}

STEP 4

Simplify the exponent by multiplying 0.01-0.01 by 100100.
B=51B=5^{-1}

STEP 5

Calculate the value of 515^{-1}.
B=51=15B=5^{-1} = \frac{1}{5}

STEP 6

Convert the fraction to a decimal if necessary.
B=15=0.2B=\frac{1}{5} = 0.2
The fractional part of the battery that is still operating after 100 hours of use is 0.20.2.
