I cant really explain fully how to do these problems because it would be very difficult but i will try my best... to do half live problems you should make a chart that has half lives in one section, grams of whatever your figuring out in another section and time in another section. When you add one half live you multiply the number of grams by two and then add the right amount of time that was in the directions. Once you get the first step done you just follow the same format untill you find the answer.

ReplyDeletePeter is correct except you don't multiply the number of grams by two, you have to divide them by two.
