Type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar. while testing a new vaccine, a lab technician noticed that the number of bacteria reduced by half every minute. how long does it take for 3,000 bacteria to reduce to 375? it takes minutes for the number of bacteria to reduce from 3,000 to 375.

3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the number of half lifes' there is from 3000 to 375.

3000 ÷ 2 = 1500 ⇒⇒⇒⇒ 1

1500 ÷ 2 = 750 ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ 2

750 ÷ 2 = 375   ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ 3

There are 3 half lives' meaning it reduces 3 times from 3000 to 375.

Each reduction takes 1 minutes.

The total time to reduce from 3000 to 375 is:

3 × 1 = 3 minutes.
