.36 = (1/2)^(100/k)
k = 67.84
so, the half-life is 67.84 days
Makes sense, since the sample has decreased by a little more than 1/2 in 100 days.
51/100 = (1/2)^(t/67.84)
t = 65.9 days
An unknown radioactive element decays into non-radioactive substances. In 100 days the radioactivity of a sample decreases by 64 percent.
