The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.
Rex the dog died in 1750. What percentage of his original carbon-14 remained in 1975 when he was found by scientists?
Suppose that the half-life of substance A is known to be . When substance A decays, it becomes substance B. If this is the only way that substance B can be produced, and a sample is found that contains
of substance A and
of substance B, what is the age of this sample?
