The cloth shroud from around a mummy is found to have a 14C activity of 8.0 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon as compared with living organisms that undergo 16.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon.
From the half-life for 14C decay, 5715 yr, calculate the age of the shroud.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
t = ? yr
