Answer:

294 grams

Explanation:

The amount of radioactive material left after t hours given that the half-life is to hours is

[tex]A=P(0.5)^{\frac{t}{t_0}}[/tex]

Now, in our case t0 = 3, t = 9 and P = 2352 g; therefore, the above equation gives

[tex]A=2352(0.5)^{9/3}[/tex][tex]A=294g[/tex]

which is our answer!

Hence, the amount of radioactive copper left after 9 hours is 294 grams.
