Answer:
Decimal reduction time [tex]= 990[/tex] cells per minute
Explanation:
Given -
Initial population of cells [tex]=10000[/tex]
Final population of cells [tex]=100[/tex]
Total change in population of cells is equal to final population of cells minus the initial population of cells.
Total change in population of cells [tex]= 10000-100\\= 9900\\[/tex]
Total time taken by cell to reduce [tex]= 10[/tex] minutes
Decimal reduction time
[tex]= \frac{9900}{10} \\= 990[/tex] cells per minute
