Use the formula in terms of half life from the normal exponential functions
<span>
N(t) = N(0) (1/2) ^ (t/thalf) </span>
<span>
N(0) is the original quantity </span>
<span>
N(t) = quantity remaining at time t </span>
<span>
t is the time </span>
<span>
thalf is half life </span>
<span>
1/16 = (1/2)^(t/3.82) </span>
<span>
16 = 2^(t/3.82) </span>
<span>
4 = t/3.82 </span>
<span>
t = 15.28 days
