We find the value of N₀ since we are provided with initial conditions.
The condition is that, at time t = 0, the amount of substance contains originally 10 grams.
We substitute:
10 = N₀ (e^(-0.1356)*0)
10 = N₀ (e^0)
N₀ = 10

When the substance is in half-life (meaning, the half of the original amount), it contains 5 grams. We solve t in this case.
5 = 10 e^(-0.1356*t)
0.5 = e^(-0.1356*t)
Multiply natural logarithms on both sides to bring down t.
ln(0.5) = -0.1356*t
Hence,
t = -(ln(0.5))/0.1356
t ≈ 5.11 days (ANSWER)

butalik [34]

Answer:

\frac{6}{8}  \div  \frac{2}{3}

Simplify,

\frac{6}{8}    =  \frac{3}{4}

So now,

\frac{3}{4}  \div  \frac{2}{3}  \\  =  \frac{3}{4}  \times  \frac{3}{2} \\  =  \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 2}  \\  =  \frac{9}{8}  \\  = 1.125
