Pregnant women metabolize some drugs at a slower rate than the rest of the population. The half-life

Question:

Pregnant women metabolize some drugs at a slower rate than the rest of the population. The half-life of caffeine is about 4 hours for most people. In pregnant women, it is 10 hours.101 (This is important because caffeine, like all psychoactive drugs, crosses the placenta to the fetus.) If a pregnant woman and her husband each have a cup of coffee containing 100 mg of caffeine at 8 am, how much caffeine does each have left in the body at 10 pm?
