The b2 decay of phosphorus 32 15 P (atomic mass 5 31.973 907 u) produces a daughter

Question:

The b2 decay of phosphorus 3215P (atomic mass 5 31.973 907 u) produces a daughter nucleus that is sulfur 3216S (atomic mass = 31.972 070 u), a β particle, and an antineutrino. The kinetic energy of the β particle is 0.90 MeV. Find the maximum possible energy (in MeV) that the antineutrino could carry away.
