Question


Answer


I don't see why it goes down like that, i understand that over time it decays, however, why does it go down as they marked @ 5g-6h and 3g-12h then 1g-18h

So how to do this properly?

:) thanks

Every 6 hours, it loses half of its mass. So after 6 hours, its mass is 5 (10/2) and then at 12 its mass is 2.5 (5/2) etc,

yes it goes down as its marked. The half life is independent of the mass left
