Answer:

  t=5.0days

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the exponential decay that is N=N_{0}e^{-kt}, we have N=\frac{1}{2}{\times}46=23, N_{0}=46 and k=0.1374.

Thus, N=N_{0}e^{-kt} becomes

23=46{\times}e^{-0.1374t}

\frac{23}{46}=e^{-0.1374t}

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.1374t}

Taking log on both sides, we get

ln(\frac{1}{2})={-0.1374t}

t=\frac{ln\frac{1}{2}}{-0.1}

t=\frac{-0.6931}{-0.1374}

t=5.0days
