Please use the values in the resources listed below instead of the textbook values. A laboratory investigation shows that a sample of uranium ore contains 5.48 mg of 238 92 U and 2.66 mg of 82 206 pb. Calculate the age (in y) of the ore. (The half-life of 238 U is 4.47x109 y. The mass of a U atom is 238.050783 amu, and the mass of a 206 pb atom is 205.974449 amu.) 82 1.55e+09 Y 92 238 92 +
