Question: ( 5 pts ) 1 8 . The half - life of _ ( ( ) 6 ) ^ ( 1 4 ) C is

(5 pts)18. The half-life of _(()6)^(14)C is 5730 years. The activity of atmospheric carbon due to the
presence of _(()6)^(14)C is 0.255 Bq per gram of carbon. A sample of carbon from an archeological site
contains 6.00 grams of carbon and its activity is 0.300 Bq . What is the age of the sample?
(a)1.15\times 10^(4) years
(b)1.25\times 10^(4) years
(c)1.35\times 10^(4) years
(d)1.40\times 10^(4) years
(e)1.50\times 10^(4) years
(f) none of the above answers
The answer should be C but I'm getting stuck on how to get there.
