Thanks!

what if my sample size is 3/4? then how would i multiply 1/2 to get 3/4?

[stonedawg2012]

@TheKristinetv well to get to 3/4 the sample size then you need to think logically about the situation. 3/4 of the sample size is missing 1/4. 1/4=1/2*1/2, so the answer would be 2 half lives

what if you neither know the half life or the starting period of a large scale decay material?

[stonedawg2012]

@theREALiceveela then id ask you what they expect you to do with such little information
