Sir, please do me a favour in this.

Question) Consider a continuous culture provided with a sterile feed containing 10 mM glucose. The steady
state cell density and substrate concentration at three different dilution rates are given in the table
below.
Dilution rate (h-1)          Cell density (g L-1)        Substrate concentration (mM)
0.05                                     0.248                         0.067
0.5                                      0.208                         1.667
5                                           0                                10
The maximum specific growth rate µm (in h−1), will be _____.

Thanking you
