The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Recall that m(t) = m.(1/2)^t/h for radioactive decay, where h is the half-life. Suppose that a 500 g sample of phosphorus-32 decays to 356 g over 7 days. Calculate the half life of the sample.

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of phosphorus-32 is 14.28days^{-1}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate the half life of the sample is given as:

m(t)=m_o(1/2)^{t/h}

where,

m(t) =  amount of sample after time 't' = 356 g

m_o = initial amount of the sample = 500 g

t = time period = 7 days

h = half life of the sample = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

356=500\times (\frac{1}{2})^{7/h}\\\\h=14.28days^{-1}

Hence, the half life of the sample of phosphorus-32 is 14.28days^{-1}
