Carbon Dating Carbon-14 (14C) dating assumes that the carbon dioxide on the Earth today has the same radioactive content as it did centuries ago. If this is true, then the amount of 14C absorbed by a tree that grew several centuries ago should be the same as the amount of 14C absorbed by a similar tree today. A piece of ancient charcoal contains only 19% as much of the radioactive carbon as a piece of modern charcoal. How long ago was the tree burned to make the ancient charcoal? (The half-life of 14C is 5715 years. Round your answer to one decimal place.)
