Answer:
3 strain would still alive after 48 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial population of virus = 40000 grams
A certain virus is dying off at a rate of 18% per hour.
We are supposed to find how much of the strain would still be alive after 48 hours
Formula : [tex]N(t)=N_0(1-r)^t[/tex]
[tex]N_0[/tex]=Initial population
N(t)= Population after t hours
r = rate of decrease = 18% = 0.18
t = time = 48 hours
So,the strain would still be alive after 48 hours=[tex]40000(1-0.18)^{48}=2.91 \sim 3[/tex]
Hence 3 strain would still alive after 48 hours
