Total time \((T)\,=\,1\,hr\,=\,60\,min.\)
From \(T\,=\,n\times t_{1/2}\)
\(n\,=\,\frac {60}{15}\,=\,4\)
Now from the formula \(\frac{N}{{{N_0}}}\, = \,{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^n}\)
\( = \,{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^4}\, = \,\frac{1}{{16}}\)
Where \(N_0\,=\) initial amount
\(N\,=\) amount left after time \(t\)
hence the amount of substance left after \(1\,hour\) will be \(\frac {1}{16}\)
