Answer:

approximately 27 grams

Work Shown:

Half life formula

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

where,

A = starting amount = 30 grams

H = half life period = 90 years

x = number of years that pass by = 12

y = amount left over after x years

Let's plug the values for x, A and H into the formula to find y

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

y = 30*(0.5)^(12/90)

y = 27.3516746567466

y = 27 .... rounding to the nearest whole number
