Question:

A sample initially contains only U-238 isotope of uranium. With time, some of the U-238 radioactively decays into Pb-206 while the rest of it remains undisintegrated.
When the age of the sample is P x108 years, the ratio of mass of Pb-206 to that of U-238 in the sample is found to be 7. The value of P is _____.
[Given: Half-life of U-238 is 4.5 x109 years; loge2 = 0.693]
