A sample from a meteorite that landed on Earth has been analyzed, and the results shows that out of every 1,000 nuclei of potassium- 40 originally in the meteorite, only 125 are still present, meaning they have no yet decayed. How old is the meteorite (in yr)? (Hint: see the figure below) (Note: The half life of potassium- 40 is 1.3 billion years.)
