OpenStudy (anonymous):

Half life is when the starting or initial value goes down to half its amount. At t=0s, the count per minute is 240.

OpenStudy (hhopke):

So the half-life is the time taken for the count rate to be 120? @Shalante

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes 240/2=120 Now figure the day period that the counting per minute is 120. It can in decimals or fraction.

OpenStudy (hhopke):

Okay. Thank you so much!
