Answer:
16 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of paramecium Aurelia doubles every 1.25days
5 days ago ; number of paramecium Aurelia = 1
How many are there now?
Using the relation :
Multiplier^(total number of days / time it takes to multiply)
Multiplier = doubles = 2
Total number rof days =. 5
Time it takes to. Multiply = 1.25
The formula becomes :
Number(n) of ptotozoan in 5days is given by 2^(5/1.25)
n = 2^(5/1.25)
n = 2^4
n = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 =. 16
12
