20) An x-ray machine operating at 80 kVp for 100 mAs with 1 mm Al added filtration produces an exposure of 120 mR/hr at 40 inches. If the corresponding half-value layer is 2.1 mm Al, how much total added filtration would reduce the exposure at 40 inches to 60 mR/hr? a) 1 mm Al b) 1.1 mm Al c) 2.1 mm Al d) 3.1 mm Al e) 5.1 mm Al
