. The earth has more than 7 billion people and almost no one lives 100 years. Assume that nobody make it past age 100. How do you know that, some year soon, more than 50 million people will die
A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 30 percent of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago, to the nearest year, was the artifact made? (The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.) years. Submit Question 67 F Mostly clear
An artifact was found and tested for its carbon-14 content. If 70% of the original carbon-14 was still present, what is its probable age (to the nearest 100 years)? (Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years.) Answer should be in years
