      Question

      The half-life of a radioactive substance is 5 hours. How

      much of the substance remains after 15 hours?       
      A 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Each half-life reduces the substance to half. In 15 hours, there are three half-lives (15 ÷ 5). So the remaining amount is: (1/2)³ = 1/8 Hence, 1/8 of the substance remains after 15 hours.
