Answer : The time passed in years is 
Explanation :
Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :



Now we have to calculate the time passed.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3
a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get


Therefore, the time passed in years is 
I use the acronym LEO for oxidation reactions. This stand for: Lose electrons Oxidation, so when oxidation occurs, electrons are lost. Due to electrons having a negative charge, substance undergoing oxidation have a more POSITIVE charge.
Pls Thank + Branliest its good for my ego :P
