3200 ÷ 2 = 1600 Note: 50% is half of something.
The question, as posed cannot be answered because you have not stated the units for the half-life. Some things have half lives of millions of years while others have half-lives measured in micro-seconds. Fortunately, Wikipedia came to my rescue and the half-life is 1600 years (approx). The answer is approx 4.3 grams.
2.9% of 1600= 2.9% * 1600= 0.029 * 1600= 46.4
35% of 1600= 35% * 1600= 0.35 * 1600= 560
1600
It is 1600 . 3200 divided by 2 = 1600
It is about 1600 years.

1,010,000 square units.
To run 1600 meters at a pace of 10 and a half minutes per mile requires 10 minutes 26.4 seconds.
After 1600 years, half of the 20 grams of Ra-226 will remain, so 10 grams will be left. After another 1600 years (3200 years total), half of the remaining 10 grams will remain, resulting in 5 grams of Ra-226 left.
1/2 of 1600 is 800 1/2 of 50 is 25 1/2 of 6 is 3 1600 + 25 + 3 = 828
The isotope must still be being created through the decay of other elements into this one. Also, small quantities throughout the universe may still exist from their creation in supernovas or even the Big Bang, because of the concept of a half-life. Half would've decayed in the first 1600 years, then another half in the next 1600, but there are so many atoms in even a kg of material that some still may not have decayed yet, through many increments of 1600 years.

The half-life of radon-222 is about 3.8 days. This means that it takes about 3.8 days for half of a sample of radon-222 atoms to decay into other particles.
