What is the age of the basket

Reference no: EM13699172

Problem- An archeologist on a dig finds a fragment of an ancient basket woven from grass. Later, it is determined that the carbon-14 content of the grass in the basket is 9.09% that of an equal carbon sample from present-day grass. What is the age of the basket?
