Question

PLEASE HELP!! A culture started with 1000 bacteria. After 6 hours, it grew to be 1100 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 15 hours. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

1000 to 1100 is an increase of 100 bacteria per 6 hours
100/6 = 16.67 bacteria per hour
16.67 * 15 hours = 250
Total bacteria should be 1100+250= 1350

Answer 2

1350, is your answer. :) :) :)
