The half life of an element is calculated when the element has half the original amount left. So, by the time this isotope reaches its half life, it would have 20 grams. Divide 5 by 20 then multiply the number by 30. That result of 7.5 days is the half life of the isotope.

This time is known as the half-life.
It is 11.2 years.
The half-life tells you that after the specified time, half of a sample will have decayed.
