We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now we start with 150 grams of Thorium-234

$150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1$

$75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2$

$34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3$

$17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4$

$8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5$

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

$A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}$

Where

$A_0$ is the initial sample amount

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.
