Answer:

0.50 kg of the material would be left after 10 days.

0.25 kg of the material would be left after 20 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the half-life of a material is 10 days. You have one 1 kg of the material today. We are asked to find the amount of material left after  10 days and 20 days, respectively.

We will use half life formula.

A=a\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}, where,

A = Amount left after t units of time,

a = Initial amount,

t = Time,

h = Half-life.

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{10}{10}}

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{1}

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot\frac{1}{2}

A=0.5\text{ kg}

Therefore, amount of the material left after 10 days would be 0.5 kg.

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{20}{10}}

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{2}

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot\frac{1^2}{2^2}

A=1\text{ kg}\cdot\frac{1}{4}

A=0.25\text{ kg}

Therefore, amount of the material left after 20 days would be 0.25 kg.
