dividing an int by a float in trinket to calculate decay rates.

Hi all, i could use a little help with this one, i'm supposed to be calculating decay rates using specifically trinket but i'm having trouble with line 23 of my code, namely i'm getting a tuple/float error. "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for Div: 'list' and 'float' on line 23 in main.py"
