Question:
Assume that when Earth formed, uranium-238 and uranium-235 were equally abundant. Their current percent natural abundances are 99.28% uranium-238 and 0.72% uranium-235. Given half-lives of 4.5 x 109 years for uranium-238 and 7.1 x 108 years for uranium-235, determine the age of Earth corresponding to this assumption.
