Answer:

8.10 hours.

Explanation:

You start with 500.0g.

After the first half-life, you have 250.0g.

After the second, you have 125.0g.

After the third, you have 62.50g.

Therefore, it takes three half-lives to decay to 62.50g.

Therefore, the elapsed time must be triple the length of one half-life.

24.3

=

8.10

, so it is 8.10 hours.
