Answer:

11460 years

Explanation:

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

t1/2 = half life of the carbon

t = age of the fossil

No= amount of radioactive material originally present

N= amount of radioactive material present at time=t

No= mass of carbon + nitrogen = 5g

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (5/1.25)

1.21 ×10^-4 = 1.3866/t

t= 1.3866/1.21 ×10^-4

t= 11460 years
