You have 400 mg of a radioisotope with a half-life of 5 minutes. How much will be left after 30 minutes?

If the half-life is 5 minutes, then 30 minutes is equivalent to 6 half-lives. So, after six successive half-lives, the 400 mg of the radioisotope would have a mass of 400(0.5)⁶ = 6.25 mg.

Thus, A would be the correct answer choice here.
