Radioactive Decay Physics Problem

Overview

I'm working on a physics question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

A radioactive sample contains two different isotopes, A and B. A has a half-life of 3 days, and B has a half-life of 6 days. Initially in the sample there are twice as many atoms of A as of B. At what time will the ratio of the number of atoms of A to B be reversed?
