Answer:

To calculate half life, divide original value by 2.

1.

FOUR HALF LIVES = divide original value by 2, 4 times.

40÷ 2 = 20

20 ÷ 2 = 10

10 ÷ 2 = 5

5 ÷ 2 = 2.5g

2. AFTER TEN DAYS (TWO HALF LIVES)

140 ÷ 2 = 70

70÷ 2 = 35g

AFTER TWENTY DAYS (FOUR HALF LIVES)

140 ÷ 2 = 70

70 ÷ 2 = 35

35 ÷ 2 = 17.5

17.5 ÷ 2 = 8.75g
