Researchers are trying to use radiocarbon dating to determine when the wooden buildings at an archaeological site were constructed. They know that trees in the area would have been cut down for the construction, and that when the trees died, they would have a ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 of about one part per trillion (1 ppt). The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5,730 years, and they discover the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 to be about 0.125 parts per trillion (ppt). What is the age of the buildings at the site? * 716.25 years

5,730 years

17,190 years

0.125 billion years
