Bruce Wayne analyzes a kryptonite in order to prepare if ever Clark Kent becomes rogue. The former studied a kryptonite and found that it decomposes at a rate proportional to the quantity of kryptonite present. Suppose that it is found that in 25 years approximately 1.1% of a certain quantity of kryptonite has decomposed. Determine how long it will take until 50% of the original amount of kryptonite dissipates. pls. provide complete solution with explenation. the formula we use is : dx/dt=kx

Bruce Wayne analyzes a kryptonite in order to prepare if ever Clark Kent becomes rogue. The former studied
a kryptonite and found that it decomposes at a rate proportional to the quantity of kryptonite present.
Suppose that it is found that in 25 years approximately 1.1% of a certain quantity of kryptonite has
decomposed. Determine how long it will take until 50% of the original amount of kryptonite dissipates.

pls. provide complete solution with explenation.

the formula we use is : dx/dt=kx
