    Explanation:

    Half life equation:

    A = A₀ (½) ^ (t / T)

    where A is the final amount,

    A₀ is the initial amount,

    t is time,

    and T is the half life.

    0.0625 = (½) ^ (t / 5700)

    log 0.0625 = (t / 5700) log 0.5

    4 = t / 5700

    t = 22,800

    It takes 22,800 years.
