    Half life = 12 hrs

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Total amount of sample = 208 g

    Amount left after 60 hr = 13.0 g

    Half life = ?

    Solution:

    Step one:

    amount half life

    208 g time 0

    208/2 1 half life

    104/2 2 half life

    52/2 3 half life

    26/2 4 half life

    13 5 half life

    Step 2:

    half life = elapsed time / total half life when 13 g is left

    Half life = 60 hrs / 5

    Half life = 12 hrs
