Question

Ötzi the Iceman is the name given to a well-preserved natural mummy of a man found in the Ötztal Alps, on the border between Austria and Italy, in 1991. An organic sample from Ötzi was found to contain 52.04% of the relative proportion of carbon-14 found in living matter and the atmosphere. Approximately how long before the carbon-14 measurements were made did Ötzi die? (The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.)
