Radium decomposes at a rate proportional...

Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the quantity of radium present. It is found that in 25 years, approximately 1.1% of a certain quantity of radium has decomposed. Determine approximately how long it will take for one-half of the original amount of radium to decompose? [Given`(log)_e 0.989=0. 01106a n d(log)_e2=0. 6931` ]
