Explain when did the mammoth live

Reference no: EM13666735

If a mammoth skeleton has a carbon-14 decay rate of 0.49 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (0.49 dis/min*gC). While did the mammoth live? Presume that living organisms have a carbon-14 decay rate of 15.3 dis/min*g C as well as that carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 yr.
