300 mg reduces to 150 mg after 2 hours

150 mg reduces to 75 mg after a further 2 hours

75 mg reduces to 37.5 mg after a further 2 hours

37.5 mg reduces to 17.75 mg after a further 2 hours

etc etc etc

So after 5 hours the original 300 mg has reduced to approx 57.25 mg {75 – 17.75} [37.5/2]

o.k., first you paintings on the aspect that has no variable. 26= 104/4 104/4-33/4=seventy one/4 so seventy one/4 (besides the undeniable fact that you do “is decrease than or equivalent to”) -2/3f-a million/4 now upload a million/4 to the different aspect. seventy 2/4 (See parenthesis above) -2/3f -2/3f is actual -2/3 x f so divide each aspect by utilizing 2/3 seventy 2/4 divided by utilizing 2/3=seventy 2/4×3/2 f=216/8, which reduces to 27/a million f=27
