A reference sample of the same size from a plant alive


Problem- Hile exploring a coal mine, scientists found plant fossils in the ceiling of the mine which had been preserved by an earthquake. Samples taken from one of the fossils have carbon-14 activities of 20.0 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, what is the age of the plant fossil in years?

If possible please provide me expert solution with complete computation
