Determine how old is the material

Reference no: EM13513637

Carbon-14 has an activity of 0.25 Bq per gram of carbon for living organisms. The half-life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years. If a sample of charcoal from an archeological dig yields a Carbon-14 activity of 0.15 Bq per gram of carbon, how old is the material?
