A reference sample of the same size from a plant alive


Explain while exploring a coal mine, scientists found plant fossils in the ceiling of the preserved by an earthquake. Samples taken from one of the fossils have carbon-14 activities of 40.0 counts/min. A reference sample of the same size from a plant alive today has a carbon-14 activity of 160.0 counts/min. If carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years and what is the age of the plant fossil in years?
