How close must the hospital be to the cyclotron

Reference no: EM13699783

Problem- PET studies require fluorine-18, which is produced in a cyclotron and decays with a half-life of 1.83 hours.

Assuming that the F?18 can be transported at 61.0 miles/hour, how close must the hospital be to the cyclotron if 63% of the F?18 produced is to make it to the hospital?

I just need a general explanation of it please- Thanks
