Well count how many half lifes it would take to get from 1 to 0.125 first
 
1 to 0.5  - 1 half life
0.5 to 0.25 - 2nd half life
0.25 to 0.125 - 3rd half life

so essentially it would take 3 half lives to get to 0.125 kg of radium.
Now simply multiply the number of half lives with the half life value given 
(3x1620) to get your answer as the number of years that it would take.

Hope this helps

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "it has high face validity".

Explanation:

Face validity in a test is a very broad concept that simply refers to whether the test appears to be suitable to report what it claims to do. It is important to notice that high face validity in a test only means that the judgers of the test agree that the test is suitable, but it doesn't mean that the test is reliable for the patient and for the therapist. In this example, Kristoff should take other tests and examinations before he could be sure that he is not suffering from depression, particularly because he has many symptoms that indicate that he is depressed.
