Write down the definition and formula of half-life of a radioactive substance.

The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is $100 \, hours$. The fraction of original activity that will remain after $150 \, hours$ would be:

Half-life of a radioactive substance $A$ is two times the half-life of another radioactive substance $B$. Initially, the number of nuclei of $A$ and $B$ are $N_A$ and $N_B$ respectively. After three half-lives of $A$, the number of nuclei of both are equal. Then $\frac{N_A}{N_B}$ is
