A50-gram sample has a half-life of 12 days. how much material will remain after 12 days?

A 50-gram sample with a half-life of 12 days will have a remaining mass of 25 grams after its 12-day half-life. Every cycle of a half-life, the sample will lose half of its mass, so if the half-life, itself, is 12 days and the time period passing is 12 days, one half-life has passed and the material will be halved.

So what you would do is go through and add 3 teaspoons(tsp) 6 times because of the 6 tablespoons(tbsp). which will give you an answer of 18. another way is to multiply 3x6=18.
