Why did he??????

Hello!
A half-life is the amount of time it takes half of an element to decay. For example, after one of carbon's half-life, half of carbon would've decayed.
Now, we can calculate how much has decayed if 5 half lives have passed.
1 -> 50% (1) -> 25% (2) -> 12.5% (3) -> 6.25% (4) -> 3.125% (5)
Therefore, there would be 3.125% left of iodine. However, your question is asking what percent has decayed. Therefore, subtract 3.125 from 100% to get your final answer.
100 - 3.125 = 96.875
Therefore, your final answer is 96.875% of iodine has decayed if 5 half lives have passed.
Hope this helps!
Human evolution known to be a process in which species adapt to certain conditions of life, and in the battle of life and death, they are forced to become stronger in order to survive in the world. Diseases have always been present during the evolution, acting themselves as a natural selector-the weaker organisms get sick and die.
