The half-life of a radioactive isotope Is the time It takes for a quantity of the Isotope to be reduced to half Its initlal mass. Starting with 205 grams of a radloactive Isotope, how much will be left after 4 half-lives? Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest gram. I| grams
