Scientists use the term "half-life" to describe the time it takes for of the atoms in a radioactive sample to decay. The table provides the amount of atoms remaining each day in a radioactive substance known as iodine-124. We can see that after 4 days, a little more than of the 96 original atoms have decayed. What fractional part of the atoms is decaying each day?

Day 0-96 atoms
Day 1-80 atoms
Day 2-66 2/3 Atoms
Day 4 46 8/27 Atoms
