Answer:

0.0001075

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between halflife and rate at which it is decaying is given by

[tex]t_{\frac{1}{2} } =\dfrac{log2}{rate}[/tex]

now in the above problem halflife is given as 2800 years substituting in the above equation we get the value of rate at which it is decaying to be rate=0.0001075.
