How long does a judge take before declaring a hung jury?
The jury cannot not declare itself "hung." The jury will make, or take, as many votes as it necessary to resolve the issue. Only the judge can declare a jury at an impasse (hung) and the judge will decide when the jury7 has deliberated long enough, and when sufficient votes have been taken.

How many times can a there be a hung jury on the same case?
Are you asking about how many times a single jury might get sent back to the jury room for more deliberation after delivering a hung jury finding to the judge? It probably depends on the circumstances, but it could be several times. As far as subsequent re-trials of the same case also resulting in repeatedly hung juries, there seems to be no statutory limit how many times a case may be re-tried, but there surely can have been VERY few such instances.
How many sets of juries have to come to a hung decision before a case is thrown out?
It doesn't work that way. If the jury is truly hung, a mistrial will be declared. After the mistrial, the parties decide whether to have a new trial with a new jury. In the event that the second jury is hung, another mistrial would be declared, and the parties can choose to have another trial. This goes on and on until the parties settle, voluntarily opt to dismiss, or a trial results in a verdict.

How many jurors does it take to arrive at a decision?
It takes 12 Jurors to arrive at a decision. But a Jury only decides the guilty/ not guilty verdict, and all 12 Jurors have to agree on either guilty, or not guility or else the Jury has to try to convince each other to all agree on either guilty or not guilty. If that fails, the Jury turns into a "Hung Jury" and a new Jury is brought in.
