The Half-Life of a medication is the time it takes for medication to reduce to half of its original amount in a patients bloodstream. A certain antibiotic has a half-life of about 8 hours. Suppose a patient takes 500 milligrams of medication at 7 am. Make a table of values to show the amount of medication left in the patients blood for 48 hours.
