Answer:
11460 years
Explanation:
0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)
t1/2 = half life of the carbon
t = age of the fossil
No= amount of radioactive material originally present
N= amount of radioactive material present at time=t
No= mass of carbon + nitrogen = 5g
0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (5/1.25)
1.21 ×10^-4 = 1.3866/t
t= 1.3866/1.21 ×10^-4
t= 11460 years
