Question

The half-life of caffeine is about 5.7 hours. This means that half of the caffeine intake will still be in your system after 5.7 hours. The general formula (using rational exponents) is:   

A=C(0.5)t/k

where: 

t = the hours since drinking the caffeine

k = the half-life of caffeine (about 5.7 hours)

C = the milligrams of caffeine ingested

A = the milligrams of caffeine left in your body after t hours
