Disintegrations per second is the basic rate you’re measuring. A Curie is defined as 3.7 × 10^10 disintegrations per second. So 1 Curie equals 3.7 × 10^10 Bq. In other units, that’s 37 GBq (since 1 GBq = 10^9 Bq). Therefore, the direct answer in becquerels is 3.7 × 10^10 Bq. The other numbers represent smaller amounts of activity: for example, 10 GBq is 1 × 10^10 Bq, and 1.6 × 10^10 Bq is about 0.43 Ci, which is less than a Curie.
