7. In an experiment a drug is added to two identical flasks, each containing the same amount of
certain bacteria. The drug is then allowed to react with the bacteria for various times in z hours.
It is found that the amount of bacteria left, h units varies inversely as (z- 5) hours. In one flask

there were 4 5 units of bacteria left after 8 hours. Calculate the amount of units of bacteria left
in another flask after 9 hours.
