A substance has a half-life of 100,000 years and an initial mass of 1,000 grams. How many years will pass before only 250 grams of the substance's parent material is left? 10,000 50,000 200,000 300,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200,000 because after it undergoes one half life it reaches 500 grams it then undergoes another halflife to reach 250grams {halflife of a substance is defined as the time it takes for that substance to reach half its original size}
