Question

There is a population of 15,500 bacteria in a colony. If the number of bacteria doubles every 234 hours, what will

Answer 1

Answer:

2,48,000

Step-by-step explanation:

• Initial population of bacteria = 15,500

• Bacteria doubles after every 234 hours

• So, after 0 (zero) hours, no of bacteria = 15,500

• After 234 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(15,500) = 31,000

• After 468 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(31,000) = 62,000 (2*234 = 468)

• After 702 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(62,000) = 124,000 (3*234 = 702)

• After 936 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(124000) = 2,48,000 (4*234 = 936)
