Question

An anthropologist finds bone that her instruments measure it as 0.369% of the amount of Carbon-14 the bones would have contained when the person was alive. How long ago did the person die? The half life of carbon 14 is 5,730 years. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.

Answer 1

5000 is the the nearest because if your round 5430 or anything smaller it rounds to the 5000 if its 5600 that means its nearer to 6000
