Answer:

The weight of Strontium-90 will reduce to 0.25 Kg in 58 years.

Explanation:

Given -

Radioactive isotope sample of Strontium-90 = 1Kg

Half life of Strontium-90 = 29 years

After first half life (i.e 29 years), the weight of Strontium-90

= \frac{1}{2}\\= 0.5 Kg

After second half life (i.e 58 years), the weight of Strontium-90

= \frac{0.5}{2}\\= 0.25 Kg

Thus, the weight of Strontium-90 will reduce to 0.25 Kg in 58 years.
