<u>Explanation:</u>
Given, the initial value of the sample, = 150mg
Final value of the sample or the quantity left, A = 18.75mg
Time = 11.4 days
The amount left after first half life will be ½.
The number of half-life is calculated by the formula
where N is the no. of half life
Substituting the values,
On equating, we get, N = 3
Therefore, 3 half-lives have passed.
