    Radioactive decay is a pseudo-first order reaction. When you know the half-life of the material, you could use this equation.

    A = A₀ (1/2) ^t/h

    where

    A is the final activity

    A₀ is the initial activity

    t is the time

    h is the half-life

    A = (0.64) (1/2) ^88/44 = 0.16 mbq
