${ }^{227}Ac$ has a half-life of $22 \, years$ with respect to radioactive decay. The decay follows two parallel paths: ${ }^{227}Ac \longrightarrow { }^{227}Th$ and ${ }^{227}Ac \longrightarrow { }^{223}Fr$. If the percentage of the two daughter nuclides are $2.0$ and $98.0$,respectively,the decay constant (in $year^{-1}$) for ${ }^{227}Ac \longrightarrow { }^{227}Th$ path is closest to
