To find the half-life of uranium-238, we need to subtract the half-life of uranium-235 from the given value of 4.463 * 10^11 years.

4.463 * 10^11 - 7.000 * 10^8 = 4.4563 * 10^11 years

Therefore, the half-life of uranium-238 is 4.4563 * 10^11 years, which in decimal form is 445,630,000,000 years.

So, the correct answer is 445,630,000,000 (option O 447,000,000,000).
Huh
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's correct it.

To find the half-life of uranium-238, we need to subtract the half-life of uranium-235 from the given value of 4.463 * 10^11 years.

4.463 * 10^11 - 7.000 * 10^8 = 4.4563 * 10^11 years

Therefore, the half-life of uranium-238 is 4.4563 * 10^11 years, which in decimal form is 445,630,000,000 years.

So, the correct answer is 445,630,000,000 (option O 447,000,000,000).
