A half-life is the amount of time that it takes for a radioactive substance to decay to one half of its original quantity.
Suppose radioactive decay causes 300 grams of a substance to decrease to 300 × 2–3 grams after 3 half-lives. Evaluate 300 × 2–3 to determine how many grams of the substance are left.
Explain why the expression 300 × 2–n can be used to find the amount of the substance that remains after n half-lives.
Consider a quantity of a radioactive substance. The fraction of this quantity that remains after t half-lives can be found by using the expression 3–t. After how many half-lives will the fraction be `1/243` of the original?
