1. Dinosaur fossils are too old to be reliably dated usingcarbon-14, which has a half-life of about 5730 years. Suppose wehad a 68 million year old dinosaur fossil. How much of the livingdinosaur's 14C would be remaining today? (Round youranswer to five decimal places.)
______ %
Suppose the minimum detectable amount is 0.3%. What is the maximumage of a fossil that we could date using 14C? (Roundyour answer to the nearest integer.)
______ yr
2. A roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature hasreached 185°F and is placed on a table in a room where thetemperature is 75°F. (Round your answers to the nearest wholenumber.)

T(60) = ____ °F
(b) When will the turkey have cooled to 100°?
