Answer:

time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is 168 million years

Explanation:

radioactive isotope of Phlebotinum decays into Dilithium.

time taken to half life takes = 42 million years

half life means that the Phlebotinum is 50% and  Dilithium is also 50%

and now it is given that  Phlebotinum is 25% and Dilithium is 75%

hence this condition will come after two half lives.

for one half life it takes  42 million years

and for second half life time becomes 4 times of first half life

time for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is  = 4 × 42

     =  168 million years.

hence time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is 168 million years

The oddly shaped stone shapes seen in deserts are the result of wind erosion.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

True.  Many of these stones have been exposed to the elements.  Eventually such an exposure would wear out these stones as some of its parts will start to chip away.  More it is exposed to the elements, the more it gets affected.  The result is a strange shape due to the exposure.
