Determine the age of the wine


The age of wine can be determined by measuring the trace amount of radioactive tritium, the concentration of which diminishes by a first order radioactive decay with a half life of 12.5 years once the wine is bottled. If a bottle of wine is found to have a tritium concentration that is five times less than that of freshly bottled wine, determine the age of the wine?
