So what we know:
-Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons
-Atomic Number is the number of protons

Magnesium's atomic number is 12, so the natural occurring isotope for magnesium is Mg-12 (12 protons and 12 neutrons). Added up we have an atomic mass of 24 amu. Which means if we added one neutron in Mg-13, our atomic mass would be 25 amu.

We can use the equation:
(amu of isotope 1)x + (amu of isotop 2)(x-1) = Average atomic mass
where isotope 1 is the fractional abundance we're solving for.

Plugged in it looks like this:
24x + 25(1-x) = 24.3

Now to solve for x:
24x + 25 - 25x = 24.3
   -x + 25 = 24.3
        -x = -.7
         x = .7

So in this case, the fractional abundance of Mg-12 would be .7, or 70%.<span />

Tom [10]

Molar mass of vitamin B1, C12H17N4OS = 265.34 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B2, C17H20N4O6 = 376.37 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B5, C9H17NO5 = 219.24 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B6, C8H11NO3 = 169.18 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B7, C10H16N2O3S = 244.31 g/ mol

Now,

Order of increasing molar mass = B6 < B5 < B7 < B1 < B2
