Answer is: the total time that must elapse until only 1/16 of an original sample of Th-234 remains unchanged is 96.4 days.
Half-life of thorium-234 isotope is 24.1 days. After first half-life there is 1/2 of an original sample. After second half-life there is 1/4 of an original sample. After third half-life there is 1/8 of an original sample. After fourth half-life there is 1/16 of an original sample, so after four half lifes: 4 · 24.1 days = 96.4 days.
