Answer:


(1)/(2)

Explanation:

The half life is the amount of time it takes a substance to decay to half of its original amount.

Since the radioactive substance has a half life of 1000 years, there will be half of it left after 1000 years.

So, the fraction that will be left after 1000 years is
(1)/(2)
