It is known that carbon from a living organism has a decay


A 50-g sample of carbon is taken from the pelvis bone of a skeleton and is found to have a 14C decay rate of 200 decays/min. It is known that carbon from a living organism has a decay rate of 15decays=min g and that 14C has a half-life of 5730 years = 3:01 109 min. Find the age of the skeleton.
