    You will have 120g Yttrium remaining

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since the half life is 10 hours, and you are required to find out the remaining amount after 30 hours, you can do 30 / 10 = 3.

    Yttrium undergoes its half life 3 times in 30 hours.

    What you can do is divide the original amount by 2 thrice.

    960/2 = 480 (1st half life)

    480/2 = 240 (2nd half life)

    240/2 = 120 (3rd half life)

    You will have 120g Yttrium remaining
