The half-life of radium 226 is 1620 years. If we start with 20 grams of the element; find a model for radium and then use the model to calculate how much will be left after 1000 years.
-------------------------
A(t)= Ao*(1/2)^(t/1620)
---------------------------
A(1000) = 20*(1/2)^(1000/1620)
---
A(1000) = 20*(1/2)^0.6173
---
A(1000) = 20*0.6519
---
A(1000) = 13.0379 grams
