(28) An archaeologist claims that a bone in her collection is from a saber-toothed tiger that is believed to have lived 11,000 years ago. Given the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, and the carbon-14 decay rate of living organisms is 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram, if the archaeologist's claim is valid, what will be the decay rate (in disintegrations per minute per gram) of the bone? (A) 2.23 (B) 1.40 4.04 57.9 15.3 (C) (D) (E)
