60 days have passed. In every 12 days the radioisotope loses half of its life. So in the first 12 days, from 160 grams it decreases to half so it becomes 80 grams. The second 12 days, from 80 grams, it decreases to half and becomes 40 g. The third 12 days, from 40 it becomes half to 20 g. The fourth 12 days, from 20 g it becomes half to 10 g. And in the fifth 12 days, from 10 g it becomes half to 5 grams. So 5 times it became half.
5 x 12 ( days)= 60 days
