Half disappeared in one half-life.
Half that remaining disappeared in the next half-life.

..what does that mean?
Answered by PsyDAG
Knowing the half-life of C-14 would allow you to take twice the half-life.

From searching the Internet under "C-14 half life", I found that the half-life of Carbon 14 is 5730 years.

This should help a little more. Thanks for asking.
