Answer:

1 1/2 Grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If one gram of Rainbowium-214 has a half-life of 20 minutes, it takes 40 minutes for all of the grams to disappear. 2 grams of Rainbowium-214 will take 1hr and 20 minutes, but we only need to keep 1g safe for 1hr. If we used 1 1/2 grams, it would last a full hour, making the correct answer option 1 1/2 grams.
