A radioactive material, such as the isotope thorium-234, disintegrates at a rate proportional to the amount currently present. If $Q(t)$ is the amount present at time $t$, then $d Q / d t=-r Q$, where $r>0$ is the decay rate. If $100 \mathrm{mg}$ of thorium-234 decays to $82.04 \mathrm{mg}$ in 1 week, determine the decay rate $r$.</s>.
