Question:

Radioactive element AA can decay to either element BB or element CC. The decay depends on chance, but the ratio of the resulting number of BB atoms to the resulting number of CC atoms is always 2/1.The decay has a half-life of 8.00 days. We start with a sample of pure AA. How long must we wait until the number of CC atoms is 1.50 times the number of AA atoms?
