The answer is 1/16.
Half-life is the time required for the amount of a sample to half its value.
To calculate this, we will use the following formulas:
1.
,
where:
<span>n - a number of half-lives
</span>x - a remained fraction of a sample
2.
where:
<span>
- half-life
</span>t - <span>total time elapsed
</span><span>n - a number of half-lives
</span>
So, we know:
t = 10 min
<span>
= 2.5 min
We need:
n = ?
x = ?
</span>
We could first use the second equation to calculate n:
<span>If:
,
</span>Then:
⇒
⇒
<span>
</span>
Now we can use the first equation to calculate the remained fraction of the sample.
<span>
</span>⇒
<span>⇒
