What is the age of the tool


Archeologists can determine the age of artifacts made of wood orbone by measuring the amount of the radioactive isotope14C present in the object. The amount of isotope decreases in a first-order process. If 10.5% of the original amount of 14C is present in a wooden tool at the time ofanalysis, what is the age of the tool? The half-life of14C is 5730 yr.
