To find the half-life of uranium-238, we start with the half-life of uranium-235 and add the additional time given.
- The half-life of uranium-235 is \( 700,000,000 \) years.
- The half-life of uranium-238 is \( 4.463 \times 10^{11} \) years longer than that of uranium-235.
First, we need to convert \( 4.463 \times 10^{11} \) to decimal form:
\[
4.463 \times 10^{11} = 446,300,000,000
\]
Now, we can compute the half-life of uranium-238:
\[
\text{Half-life of uranium-238} = 700,000,000 + 446,300,000,000
\]
To do the addition:
\[
700,000,000 + 446,300,000,000 = 447,000,000,000
\]
Thus, the half-life of uranium-238 is:
447,000,000,000 years.
