Answer:

= 25 g

Explanation:

Using the formula;

A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount of the substance,

t is the time and

h is the half-life of the substance,

In this case; the half life of U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)

A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)

   = 24.88

  <u> = 25 g</u>
