Plutonium-32 has a half-life of 14.2 days. After 99.4 days, how much of what was originally a 499.2 gram sample remains? 14 grams

3.9 grams

35.7 grams

0.71 grams

Explanation:

A half-life is simply the amount of time it takes for a substance to reduce itself by half. In this case, every 14.2 days half of plutonium-32 is converted into something else. All you have to do is divide 99.4 by 14.2, which is exactly 7. About 0.78% of the plutonium will be remaining at this time.
