Physical Applications of 1st Order DE

Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the quantity of radium present. Suppose that 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 the original amount of radium to decompose.
