Question 3 3 pts A rear molar from a mammoth skeleton is date using a measurement of its ¹4C content. Carbon from the tooth is chemically extracted and formed into benzene. The benzene sample is placed in a shielded chamber. Decays from the sample come at an average rate of 10.25 counts per minute. A modern benzene sample of the exact same size gives 54.9 counts per minute. If the half-life of ¹4C is 5730 years, how old is the mammoth?
