 for a parallel Reaction 

When adding the rate constant of the two reactions, we need to use the formula for combining rate constants of two reactions in parallel, which is
\mathrm{k=k_1+k_2 }
Where  \mathrm{k_1 } and  \mathrm{k_2 } are the rate constant of the indvidual 
\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{t 1 / 2}=\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1+12}{24}=\frac{13}{24} \\ & \text { Net } t_{1 / 2}=\frac{24}{13}=1.84 \text { minutes } \end{aligned} }
