Answer:

18 grams

Explanation:

Because 17,190 yrs divided by the amount of years it takes for a half-life to occur is 3. So 3 half life’s happen, so you divide 144/2 once, equaling 72. You divide 72/2 again (another half-life) and you get 36. You then calculate the third half life by dividing 36/2 which equals 18 grams.
