Answer:

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

50 years is 5 half lives as 1 half life is 10 years.

64 divide 2 = 32-1 half life

32 divide 2 =16-2nd half life

16 divide 2 = 8-3rd half life

8 divide 2 = 4-4th half life

4 divide 2 = 2-5th half life

This means we will have 2 grams left of the radioactive substance after 50 years.
