In an experiment on the transport of nutrients in a plant's root structure, two radioactive nuclides X and Y are used. Initially, 2.70 times more nuclei of type X are present than of type Y. At a time 2.50 d later, there are 4.50 times more nuclei of type X than of type Y. Isotope Y has a half-life of 1.50 d. What is the half-life of isotope X?
