After a certain medicine is ingested, its concentration in the bloodstream changes over time.
The relationship between the elapsed time, $t$, in minutes, since the medicine was ingested, and its concentration in the bloodstream, $C_{\text{minute}}(t)$, in $\text{mg/L}$, is modeled by the following function:
###$C_{\text{minute}}(t)=61\cdot (0.96)\^{\Large t}$
**Complete the following sentence about the *hourly* rate of change in the medicine concentration.**
*Round your answer to two decimal places.*
Every ***hour***, the medicine concentration decays by a factor of $\ $ [[☃ numeric-input 1]].
