The first thing to do is calculate how many half lives have expired. So take the time of 72 seconds and divide by the length of a half life which is 38 seconds. So
72 / 38 = 1.894736842
So we're over 1 half life, but not quite 2 half lives. So you'll have something less than 12/2 = 6 grams, but more than 12/4 = 3 grams.
The exact answer is done by dividing 12 by 2 raised to the power of 1.8947. So let's calculate 2^1.8947 power
= 12 g / (e ^ ln(2)*1.8947)
= 12 g / (e ^ 0.693147181 * 1.8947)
= 12 g / (e ^ 1.313305964)
= 12 g / 3.718446464
= 3.227154167 g
So rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.2 grams.</span>

hope this would be the right answer ..
If the sound comes from the right side, the waves reach the right ear before the left ear. if the sound comes from the left side, the waves reach the left ear before the right ear. The difference between the phases of waves reaching both ears is detected by the ears and then interpreted by the brain
