The biological half-life of caffeine is approximately 6 hr. If one cup of coffee has 80 mg of caffeine, then the amount of caffeine C (in mg) remaining after t hours is given by C=80(2)-t/6. a. How long will it take for the amount of caffeine to drop below 60 mg? Round to 1 decimal place. b. Laura has trouble sleeping if she has more than 30 mg of caffeine in her bloodstream.
