To determine the age of fossils, scientists use radiometric dating. This involves measuring quantities of certain radioactive isotopes and using mathematical equations to compare the amounts of each isotope present.
Suppose a scientist dates a piece of petrified wood and calculates that it is approximately 23,881,392.3102 years old. The petrified wood is later displayed in a museum.
What is the most reasonable way for the museum tour guide to describe the age of the wood to museum visitors?
(A): 2.3881×107 years old
(B): 24 million years old
(C): 23.8813923102 mega years old
(D): 23 billion years old
