The growth factor for the mass of bacteria is 2.8 in 1 week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bacteria in the culture increase by 260% per week. Now we assign values to get a better understanding. If there were 1,000 bacteria in the culture at the start of the week there would be 1,000 + 260% at the week's end = 1,000 + 2,600 = 3,600 at the week's end.

Step 2:

To calculate the growth factor, we calculate the difference between the present value and the past value and divide it by the past value.

Here the past value is 1,000 and the present value is 2,600.

Growth factor = \frac{difference in values}{past value} = \frac{3,600-1,000}{1000} = \frac{2,600}{1,000} = 2.6.

So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.

155.6 CM
I divided 168 by 100 to find 1% then i got 1.68cm then I times that by 5 to find 5% which was 8.4cm. Finally I subtracted 168 and 8.4 to get 155.6 CM
I hope that helped :)

Which is the most accurate way to estimate 25% of 53?
Alex Ar [27]
You can calculate them out and check which one is the most accurate

so if one of the choices was 1/3 of 50, then you would do:
1/3 in the calculator (should be 0.333...) times 50

And you can compare it with the EXACT number, which is:
0.25*53=13.25

This way you can test all the options
