    individual isotopes

    Re 185 = 139.094

    Re 187 = 232.815

    Explanation:Correcting the typo error for natural abundance as 37 40 as 37.40 and 62 60 as 62.60

    Answer is found as follows

    For Re 185 natural abundance 37.40%

    371.9087 x 37.40/100 = 139.0938538

    six significant figures after rounding off = 139.094

    For Re 187 natural abundance 62.60

    371.9087 x 62.60/100 = 232.8148462

    six significant figures after rounding off = 232.815
