Hm. Do you have an exponential decay function to work with?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Current quantity = original quantity times e raised to the power (elaspsed time / half life), if I remember correctly, or \[Q=Q _{0}e ^{t/h}\]. Plug in and solve for half life; you have everything else you need.

Oops. I think my exponent is missing a k, specifically -ln(2). So the correct exponent, if I'm right, is e^(-t ln2)/h
