Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
That is because of the .48.
85.48 is closer to 85 than 86.
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
Answer:
I hope this is it. I'm not really sure.
