    Answer: 6th week

    Step-by-step explanation:the number of weeks is moving in a geometric proportion

    Remember Tn = ar^n-1

    Tn = 50, r = 800/1600 = 1/2, a = 1600

    So 50 = 1600 * 1/2^ n-1

    50/1600 = 1/2^ n-1

    1/32 = 1/2^ n-1

    2^ - 5 = 2^ - n+1

    Equating powers

    -5 = - n + 1

    -n = - 6

    n = 6
