Suppose a patient is given 140 mg of I−131, a beta emitter with a half-life of 8.0 days.Assuming that none of the I−131 is eliminated from the person's body in the first 4.0 hours of treatment, what is the exposure (in Ci) during those first four hours? (please I need the correct answer with steps *no predictions )

Rubidium-strontium dating. The rubidium isotope 8737Rb, a β emitter with a half-life of 4.75×1010yr, is used to determine the age of rocks and fossils. Rocks containing fossils of ancient animals contain a ratio of 8738Sr to 8737Rb of 0.0310. Assuming that there was no 8738Sr3887Sr present when the rocks were formed, estimate the age of these fossils.
