20.0 hours after being ingested 74.5 % of the original radioactive atoms have decayed or been eliminated. If the biological half-life is
known to be 35.0 hours, what is the physical half-life of this isotope? State the time in hours to 1 decimal places but do NOT include
units in your answer.
Your Answer:
