This is a fairly easy half-life problem
Each half-life reduces the radioactive material by one half.
So after 72 hours the radioactive material would have undergone 6 half-lives. 
2^6 = 64.
So, there will be one sixty-fourth of the material left.
520 / 64 = 8.125 grams will remain.
radioactive decay is an exponential decay function.
