An archaeologist sometime in the future analyzes the iron used in an old building. The iron contains tiny amounts of nickel-63, with a half-life of 92 years. On the basis of the amount of nickel-63 and its decay products found, it is estimated that about 0.78% (1/128) of the original nickel-63 remain
