The amount of carbon-14 present obeys an exponential decay law.

 

A(t) = A(0)e-^kt

 

Get k from the half-life:

 

0.5 = 1e-^k(5600)

 

k = ln(0.5) / (-5600 years) = 1.2378 x 10^-4 years^-1

 

If only 73% of the carbon-14 remains after time T, then

 

0.73 = 1e^-kT

 

T = ln(0.73) / (-1.2378 x 10^-4 years^-1) = 2542.5 years

 

The tree has been dead for about 2542.5 years.

The answer is 9
You divide 143 % 11 to get 13. 13 is the number they make an hour, so if you divide 117 % 13 you will get 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

here \: given \: that \: total \: lenth = bd = 67 \\ then \: bd = bc + cd \\ so \: we \: can \: write \: that \\ 67 = 3x - 2 + 4x + 13 \\67 =  3x + 4x - 2 + 13 \\ 67 = 7x + 11 \\ 7x = 67 - 11 \\ 7x = 56 \\ x =  \frac{56}{7}  \\ x = 8 \\ thankyou
