One Half-Life :-)
Uranium-235 has a half-life of 700 million years. how long does it take a 100-gram sample of uranium-235 to decay to a mass of 50 grams?
700 million (more exactly 703,8.106) years

700 million years
What do you do to perform Uranium-235 dating on a sample?
To perform Uranium-235 dating on a sample, you would measure the ratio of Uranium-235 to its decay product Lead-207 in the sample. By comparing this ratio to known rates of radioactive decay, you can determine the age of the sample. This method is commonly used for dating rocks and minerals that contain Uranium-235.
How much time takes uranium decays into led?
It takes billions of years for uranium to decay into lead. Uranium-238, the most common isotope of uranium, has a half-life of about 4.5 billion years, meaning it takes that long for half of a sample of uranium-238 to decay into lead-206.
Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. how long does it take a 200-gram sample of carbon-14 decay to a mass of 100 grams?
5,730 years
Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. How long does it take a 200-gram sample of carbon-14 to decay to a mass of 100 grams?
5,730 years
If you had a 100 gram sample of plutonium how much would remain in 43 years?
Plutonium-239 has a half-life of about 24,100 years, meaning it takes that long for half of a sample to decay. In 43 years, which is much shorter than the half-life, only a tiny fraction of the plutonium would decay. Therefore, after 43 years, approximately 99.83 grams of the original 100-gram sample would remain.
What is uranium-dating?
What you are referring to is actually called Uranium-Lead dating, a form of radioactive decay dating based on how long it takes various Uranium isotopes to decay to their ultimate stable daughter Lead isotopes. By measuring the relative ratios it is possible to calculate the original quantity of Uranium in the sample, then knowing the amount currently present the period of time for the missing amount to decay gives the age of the sample.When gasoline used tetraethyl lead to boost octane ratings, lead contamination was often high enough that this method was very hard to get accurate results from (usually due to contamination of the lab facilities accidentally transferring to the sample).

Uranium-235 has a half-life of 700 million year. how long does it take a 100 gram sample of uranium to decay to a mass of 50 grams?
If a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 4 years, than 0.125 (0.53) of the isotope will remain after 12 years, or 3 half-lives.The question asked about Uranium. There is no isotope of Uranium with a half-life of 4 years. The closest is 232U92, which has a half-life of 68.9 years.Reference: http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/chart/
