Slightly over 50 grams; the half-life of Pu-239 is around 24110 years, so in 24000 years a little less than half will have decayed to U-235.

How many years to use up 400000.00 earning 4 percent interest taking 24000 a year?

Assuming interest compounded annually, at the end of 29 years there will be only 270 in the account so it will not be possible to take 24000 in the 29th year.


If the interest is 24000 if the principle is 4000 and the term is 2 years what is the rate?

If a sample contains 100g of a radioactive isotope how much will be left after 3 half lives?

There will be 125 grams of radium left. Keep it simple. Ih a half-life, half the sample decays. Half of 1000 grams is 500 grams, then half of 500 grams is 250 grams. Half of that again is 125 grams. And just so you know, the half-life of radium-226, the non-synthetic isotope of radium, is 1602 years. If this was the case here, 4806 years would have to pass to get the sample to decay as far as it did.The remained quantity of radium after 3 x 1602 years is 125 grams.


How many grams of radium-226 will remain from 5 grams after 365 years if the half life of radium 226 is 1600?

The question, as posed cannot be answered because you have not stated the units for the half-life. Some things have half lives of millions of years while others have half-lives measured in micro-seconds. Fortunately, Wikipedia came to my rescue and the half-life is 1600 years (approx). The answer is approx 4.3 grams.
