Question:

According to one cosmological theory, when uranium was first generated in the early evolution of the universe following the “big bang,” the isotopes 235U and 238U were produced in equal amounts. Given the half-lives of 4.51 x   109 years for 238U and 7.10  x 108 years for 235U, calculate the length of time required to reach the present distribution of 137.7 atoms of 238U for each atom of 235U.
