Scientific notation is: n * 10^a, where n is a number between 1 and 10 ( but not 10 itself ) and a is an integer.
We move decimal place to the left to create a new number from 1 to 10.
Answer:
0.0000250 m = 2.5 * 10^(-5) m.
This question is dealing with the half-life of carbon-14 which can be used to determine the age of a substance according to the following equation:
t = [ln(N/No)/(-ln2)] · t1/2
N = # of carbon-14 atoms presently = 250 atoms
No = # of carbon-14 atoms initially = 1000 atoms
t1/2 = half-life = 5730 years for carbon-14
We can now input all of the information into the formula to find the age of the fossil:
t = [ln (250/1000)/-ln2] x 5730 years
t = 11460 years
The fossil should be found to be roughly 11,460 years old.
