AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how many days it takes for 1 gram of Polonium-210 to decay to 0.25 grams, given that its half-life is 140 days. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Half-Life**: The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required for half of the substance to decay. After one half-life, half of the initial amount remains. 2. **Identify Initial and Final Amounts**: ...
