Start by writing a continuous decay equation: A = Be-.043t.
Now pick values for A and B, which are the ending and beginning amounts, respectively. It doesn't matter what values you use, as long as A is half of B:
1 = 2e-.043t.
Now divide both sides by 2:
0.5 = e-.043t.
Take the ln of both sides:
ln(0.5) = ln(e-.043t.)
Use log properties to simplify:
ln(0.5) = -.043t
Divide both sides by -.043 and you will have your answer.
