You can put this solution on YOUR website! . He cannot regain his power until 90% of the kryptonite disntegrates.
If the half life of Kryptonite is 5 days, how long will it be before he regains his powers?
:
The remaining amt = .1
:
The half life equation
2^(-t/5) = .1 = = -3.3212
t = -5*-3.3212
t = 16.6 days
