Answer:

20 grams will be left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-life is 11 days

This means that in each 11 days, you lose 50% of the amount.

33 days

33/11 = 3 half-lifes.

You start with 160 grams

After 11 days: 160/2 = 80 grams

After 22 days: 80/2 = 40 grams

After 33 days: 40/2 = 20 grams.

20 grams will be left.
