Answer:
Let x be the first piece, y the 2nd, Z the 3rd
You know all of the pieces together make 24 thus,
24 = x + y + z
The second piece is 2 times longer than the 1st so,
y = 2x
The 3rd is 5 times longer
z = 5x
Replace them in the equation of the beginning
24 = x + 2x + 5x
24 = 8x
x = 3 (First piece)
y = 6 (Second Piece)
z = 15 (Third Piece)
The first answer is correct

Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the number of bacteria are increasing exponentially, We can model the number of bacteria at a given time t, using the formula:
f(t)=ae(tk)
where, k=constant of proportionally and a=initial number;
thus;
f(t)=2000e(0.005t)
Therefore the population after 12 hours will be:
f(12)=2000e^(0.005*12)
f(12)=2,123.67=2,123 bacteria
