Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Half-life. .
Step 2. The number of half-lives. , and .
Step 3. The share left. .
Answer: , and is left.
