Answer:
After 16 hours bacterial count will be 11600.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bacterial growth is always an exponential growth in a given culture.So the formula for the growth will be
Final counts of bacteria = Initial counts ×
Given from first part Initial counts = 5000
Final counts= 6500 and time of growth = 5 hours
Then we will get the value of rate of growth of bacteria from the bacteria
⇒ 6500 = 5000×
Now again to get the value of bacteria after 16 hours
Final Count = 5000×
= 5000×2.32
= 11600
