Phosphorus-32 is commonly used in nuclear medicine for the identification of malignant tumors. It decays to sulfur-32 with a half-life of 14.29 days. If a patient is given 3.1 mg of phosphorus-32, how much phosphorus-32 will remain after 45 days? 2 decimal places, include zeroes but no units. (e.g. 0.xx)
