Based on the prediction, there will be a
Zombie Attack in a couple of days in
Nuriootpa HS. Students in maths classes may
be at a higher risk, since the virus will be
extremely active among maths teachers.

2 strains of a zombie virus have

been discovered.
Strain A
Each day, the original zombie infects 3 new
students, but the new zombies cannot infect
anyone.

Strain B
Each day, the original zombie is able to infect 1
student. New zombies are able to infect
students.

Which strain will create more zombies after

10 minutes? Why?
