Math Problem Statement
A drug is administered intravenously to a patient at the rate of 11 mg/h. The patient's body eliminates the drug over time so that after t hours the proportion that remains is e−0.26t. If the patient currently has 50 mg of the drug in her bloodstream, how much of the drug is present eight hours from now? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
