After, we had to use the equation for half-life in order to find out how old the sample actually was because it started out with $1 \mu \textrm{Curie}$. The equation used is as follows:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:half_life}
N = N_o
e^{-\lamda e^{-\lambda t}
\end{equation}
Where
$\lamda$ $\lambda$ is the half-life age, which is 30.2 years for Cesium-137, N is the amount of the sample after a given time t, and $\textrm{N_{o}}$ is the amount of the sample at time t=0.
Table 3 shows the final values obtained. As you can see, sample two is 2.15 times older than sample one.
