in a experiment investigating the growth of spores in varying soil conditions a certain spore colony grew an average of 3 times
larger during each 24 hours period.if the colony contained 50 spores at the beginning of the experiment how many spores were there at the end of the 4th day?
Given that the certain type of spore colony having 50 spores
and a rate of growth of 3 times in 24 hour or one day period, it would grow to
(3 times 50) 150 spores at the end of the first day, (3 times 150) 450 in the 2nd
day, (3 times 450) 1350 in the third day, and (3 times 1350) 4050 spores at
the end of the fourth day.
