It will take 5.2 years to decay.
The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.
here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,
so,
n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)
n = 1
So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.
