N(t)=N0ekt

where
N0= initial value of quantity N
N(t) = quantity N at time t
k = decay constant associated to physical properties of N
ekt= decay factor
Substituting the values from the problem:
t = 10 hours
ekt=0.2601
Then, solving for k:
ln(ekx10)=ln(0.2601)
10k=ln(0.2601)
k=ln(0.2601)10
k =0.13467
For 10-hours decay factor = 0.13467
For t = 5 hours:
ekt=e0.13467×5
=e0.67335
= 0.5099
For 5-hours decay factor =0.50999
For t = 1 hours:
ekt=e0.13467×1
=e0.13467
=0.87400
For 1-hour decay factor =0.87400
The quantity of caffeine in Sasha's body 2.38 hours after drinking the energy drink is only the quantity N(t) one hour after the first value (166 mg), therefore if you use this value as the beginning value of quantity no and there are 166 mg in Sasha's body 1.38 hours after drinking the energy drink, then:
N(t)=N0ekt
N(1) =166×0.87400 (since for 1-hour decay factor =0.87400)
N(1)= 145.084 mg
