Answer:

34g

(second option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

half life is the number of days it takes to decrease by half,

after 8 days you are left with half of the original portion

in a period of 32 days, we experience 4 repeats of 8 days

(it gets cut in half four times):

544 / 2 = 272 {day 8}

272 / 2 = 136 {day 16}

136 / 2 = 68 {day 24}

68 / 2 = 34 {day 32}

so, after 32 days, 34g of ooblek are left un-decayed

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
