Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1: 1200g / 2¹ = 600g

Day 2: 1200g / 2² = 300g

Day 3: 1200g / 2³ = 150g

The pattern is the amount of radioactive substance on day n is 1200 / (2^n).

Therefore, we have to find n where 2^n > 1200.

The first such n is 11 (2¹¹ = 2048).

Hence, there will be less than 1 gram on day 11.
