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 =
So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.
Set up the conversion factor like this:
The inches are in the denominator while the feet are in the numerator in the conversion factor. It's set up this way because the numerators and denominators have to be able to cancel out. In this case, the inches would cancel out, and you would end up with 3/12 feet, which is also 0.25 feet. The turtle walks 0.25 feet per second.
