Answer:

60g

Explanation:

A sample of radioactive element has a mass that weighs 80g

The amount of life spent is two half-lives

This means that after two half lives, the number of daughter materials that would be available in the sample is 60g

Hence 60g of daughter cells would be available after two half lives
