The half-life of 27Co60 is about 5.27 years. 15.8 years is 3 half-lives, so 0.53 or 0.125 of the original sample of 16 g will remain, that being 2 g.

Can a species remain unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years according to evolution?
In theory, they can remain unchanged for their entire existence. However, in practise, nature isn't so nice and evolution happens eventually.
How much of an 800-gram sample of potassium-40 will remain after 3.910000000000 years of radioactive decay?
Approximately 400 grams of the potassium-40 sample will remain after 3.91 years, as potassium-40 has a half-life of around 1.25 billion years. This means that half of the initial sample would have decayed by that time.

What is the total number of years that must pass before only 25.00 grams of an original 100.0 gram sample of c-14 remains unchanged?
25/100 = 1/4 of the original sample. The "half-life" must pass twice, yielding (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4 of the original sample. The half-life of Carbon-14 is listed as ( 5,730 ± 40 ) years. Twice that is ( 11,460 ± 80 ) years

A Radio Decay Isotopes Has A Half Life Of 100 Years . A Sample Of 40 Grams Of The Isotopes Will Have A Mass Of Grams In 200 Years?
After 100 years, half of the original sample (20 grams) will remain. After another 100 years (total 200 years), only half of that amount (10 grams) will remain.
How much cesium would remain from a 10 g sample after 6 years?
After 6 years, approximately 5 grams of cesium-137 would remain from a 10 g sample due to its half-life of around 30 years. This decay is exponential, with about half of the original sample decaying every 30 years.
