You start with 600 atoms of radioactive isotope that has a half-life of 3 years. After 9 years how many of that radioactive isotope remain?
What is 75?
After 3 years half are gone - so 300 are left
After another 3 years, half are gone 150 left
After another 3 years - 75 are left

What is Dinosaurs and people did not life on the earth at the same time

What is the Biblical Worldwide Flood?
You are watching a sample of radioactive isotopes. you initially have 400 atoms, after 6 hours you have 100. What is the half-life of the radioactive isotope?
What is half-life 3 hours?
After 1 half-life there would be 200
another there would be 100 left
thus 2 half lives would be 3 hours
