let x = 0.13636.. ( multiply both sides by 10 and 1000 )
10x = 1.3636... (1)
1000x = 136.3636... (2)
subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits
990x = 135 ( divide both sides by 990 )
x = =

Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The antibiotic clarithromycin is eliminated from the body according to the formula:
......[1]
where;
A - Amount remaining in the body(in milligram)
t - time in hours after the drug reaches peak concentration.

[ Using
]
or
[using value of ]
then;
Simplify:
t ≈11.61 hours.
Therefore, the time 11.61 hours(Rounded two decimal place) will pass before the amount of drug in the body is reduced to 100 milligrams
