    The amount of substance after t hours with the given half-life can be calculated through the equation,

    A (t) = A (o) x (0.5) ^ (t/h)

    where A (t) is the amount after t hours, A (o) is the original amount, h is the half-life.

    Substituting the known values from the given,

    It must be noted that the number of minutes should be converted first to hours by dividing it by 60.

    A (t) = (344 g) x (0.5) ^ ((538/60) / 26))

    A (t) = 270.86 g

    Thus, the amount of as-76 after 538 minutes is approximately 270.86 g.
