The isotope known as carbon-14 is radioactive and will decay into the stable form nitrogen-14. As long as an organism is alive, it ingests air, and the level of carbon-14 in the organism remains the same. When it dies, it no longer absorbs carbon-14 from the air, and the carbon-14 in the organism decays. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5770 years. Assume an organic sample is 14,000 years old.

Determine how many half-lives are in 14,000 years. Then use this answer to determine what percentage of the original amount of carbon-14 remains after 14,000 years. Round your answer as a percentage to the nearest whole number.

Aboat has a speed of 9 mph in calm water. it takes the boat 4 hours to travel upstream but only 2 hours to travel the same distance downstream. which equation can be used to find c, the speed of the current? 2(9 – c) = 4(9 + c) 9 + c = 4(9 – c) 9 – c = 2(9 + c) 4(9 – c) = 2(9 + c)
