Answer:
3 half-lives
Explanation:
The half-life is the time that it takes to a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial amount.
Let's suppose we start with 64 g of the radioactive element.
- After 1 half-life, the mass of the element will be 32 g.
- After 2 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 16 g.
- After 3 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 8 g.
