A battery life begins are 2 years, after 194 days it only has 9 months left, it continues to drain and in another 21 days it is down to 5 months. The last you checked was 16 days later to find it has a remaining battery life of 3.7 months. What is the average rate that the battery is dying? In how many days will the battery reach 3 months?
