Every 5 days the number is cut in half. So from 600 mg to day 5, the sample will be 300 mg. Then from day 5 to day 10, the sample will reduce to 150 mg. And finally, from day 10 to day 15, the sample will have reduced to:

75 mg

I hope this Helps!

Answer:

75 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Bismuth-210 has a half-life of about 5 days.

To solve our given problem we will use half-life formula.  

[tex]y=a\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{b}}[/tex], where,

a = Initial value,

t = Time,

b = half-life.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

[tex]y=600\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{15}{5}}[/tex]  

[tex]y=600\cdot(0.5)^{3}[/tex]  

[tex]y=600\cdot 0.125[/tex]  

[tex]y=75[/tex]  

Therefore, 75 milligrams of Bismuth-210 will remain after 15 days.
