Use this paragraph: The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,700 years. A certain sample of wood has 20 grams of carbon-14 when it is alive.

How many grams of carbon will it have after 5,700 years?

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct. After one half-life of carbon-14, the sample of wood would have 10 grams of carbon-14. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
