Because the stable isotopes of lead are the end products of the decay chain of uranium natural radioactive isotopes.
or
because lead is the product of decayed uranium... that should be a good enough answer for your chem teacher you cheater!

Why is lead found in all deposits of uranium ores?
Uranium has a half life of 5,600 years. After that period, one half of the uranium becomes lead. That is why lead is found in uranium deposits.
What is the decay element of uranium?
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.
What is the charge for uranium?
Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).
Radon is found in all kinds of rocks everywhere.?
Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
What landform do all the states with silver deposits have in common?
mountains

How much lead is in 1 kilogram of pure molten uranium?
Since you have stated that the uranium is pure, it is therefore all uranium and contains no lead; lead is not uranium.
Is uranium found in coal deposits and is it combustible?
1. Yes, all coals contain traces of uranium. 2. Uranium is not combustible; the "burning" of uranium in nuclear reactors is a nuclear reaction, not a reaction with oxygen.
What does it mean when you found uranium in your house you grew up in?
All the building materials contain uranium at ultratrace level; near uranium ore deposits it is possible that buildings have materials with a higher concentration of uranium. A correct answer is possible only after radiometric measurements, radon determination in the rooms and chemical analysis of the materials.
Where is uranium found in the world?
It can be found almost everywhere in soil and rock, in rivers and oceans. Traces of uranium are even found in food and human tissue. However, concentrated uranium ores are found in just a few places, usually in hard rock or sandstone. Uranium deposits are found all over the world. The largest deposits of uranium are found in Australia, Kazakhstan and Canada. High-grade deposits are only found in Canada. It is also found in ocean water.
What is all Wyoming natural resources?
Wyoming's natural resources include mineral deposits of coal, natural gas, uranium, crude oil and other minerals.
What are all of Wyoming's natural resources?
Wyoming's natural resources include mineral deposits of coal, natural gas, uranium, crude oil and other minerals.
What is the decay element of uranium?
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.
What is the long -range fate of all the uranium that exists in the world today?
Radioactive decay to lead stable isotopes.
What is the toxic radioactive metalic waste element of uranium?
Uranium itself is a radioactive and toxic element. All the elements from the decay chain of uranium isotopes are also radioactive (ex.: radon, radium, etc.) excepting the final product, an isotope of lead.
Uranium decay chain ends when the final disintegrarion product is the stable element?
All radioactive elements eventually decay to lead (Pb). There a numerous isotopes of lead and it is thought that all the lead(Pb) in the world is derived from decayed radioactive isotopes.
Reactor core contains uranium dioxide fuel?
Often uranium dioxide is used as fuel in nuclear power plants either as UOX (uranium dioxide) or MOX (mixed oxides, typically uranium and plutonium). There are a number of other fuel types, however, and not all plants use uranium dioxide. The other fuel types include metal alloys, ceramics, and various chemical compounds other than oxides.
