This formula allows for the radiometric dating of rocks and other materials. Consider a rockthat contains Uranium-238 that decays into Lead-206 with a half-life of 4.47 billion years. A rock isfound that has 94.65% Uranium and 5.35% Lead - so, how old is this rock?

Given that:N=No(12)tt12 U238→Pb206t1/2=4.47×109 yearsU238→94.65%Pb206→5.35%
