Problem

In an agricultural experiment, a solution containing 11 mole of a radioactive material (t1/2=14.3 days)(t_{1/2}=14.3\,\text{days}) was injected into the roots of a plant. The plant was allowed 70 h70\,\text{h} to settle down and then activity was measured in its fruit. If the measured activity was 1 μCi1\,\mu\text{Ci}, what percentage of activity is transmitted from the root to the fruit in steady state?
