    How many half lives have elapsed?

    actually the formula is like this

    A=P (1/2) ^ (t/h)

    P=iniital amount

    t=time

    h=half life

    A=final amount

    so

    hmm, percent

    so P=1 then

    A=1 (1/2) ^ (144.6/24.1)

    A=1 (1/2) ^6

    A=1/64

    A=0.05625

    so 5.625% is left
