Based on the information given, the number of milligrams that will remain after 59 hours will be 13.125 milligrams.

Since after 40 hours, 25 mg of the substance has been removed, therefore, the rate per hour will be:

= 25/40 = 0.625.

The amount that will be removed in 59 hours will be:

= 59 × 0.625 = 36.875

The number of milligrams that will remain will be:

= 50 - 36.875 = 13.125 milligrams
