- Homework Statement
- Carbon-14 testing on the body of Iceman showed that the level of carbon-14 was at 52%. In approximate what year did he die?
- Relevant Equations
- There is no equations that were given, the only information that was supplied was he was found in 1991.
I had tried to come up with a formula that would help me figure it out, but I honestly am not sure where to begin. In my book it states that the carbon-14 half life is 6000 years. ( I have read somewhere else that it is 5730 but I am using 6000 as that is what was supplied)
so the only thing i could come up with is nothing that made any sense. If some one could help me where to look or start that would be great
