Explain the immediate product of decaying uranium-238

Reference no: EM13526218

The immediate product of decaying Uranium-238 is Lead-206. A sample containing a mixture of Lead-206 and Uranium-238 is made up of 18.56% Lead-206.

The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5e9 years. Assuming this started out as pure Uranium-238, how long has this been decaying (in years)?
