The percentage of ${}^{235}U$ presently on Earth is $0.72\%$ and the rest $(99.28\%)$ may be taken to be ${}^{238}U$. Assume that all uranium on Earth was produced in a supernova explosion long ago with the initial ratio ${}^{235}U / {}^{238}U = 2.0$. How long ago did the supernova event occur? (Take the half-lives of ${}^{235}U$ and ${}^{238}U$ to be $7.1 \times 10^8$ years and $4.5 \times 10^9$ years respectively).
