Answer:

There will be 25 grams left after 2 days.

Explanation:

Half-life describes the amount of time it takes for a cell to turn from one condition to another.

To find the amount of grams for the second day, divide 100 by 2.

100 ÷ 2 = 50

Now, to find the amount of grams for the third day, we need to divide 50 by 2.

50 ÷ 2 = 25

Therefore, there will be 25 grams left after 2 days.

Hope this helps! :D
