Answer: There are 2.25×10³⁴ bacteria at the end of 24 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of bacteria initially = 1
It triples in number every 20 minutes.
So, 
So, our equation becomes

We need to find the number of bacteria that it will contain at the end of 24 hours.
So, it becomes,

Hence, there are 2.25×10³⁴ bacteria at the end of 24 hours.
ANSWER
307½ gallons of water
EXPLANATION
The volume of the rectangular swimming pool is

where l=25ft and w=20½ ft.
when it is filled to a depth of 4½ ft ,then the height is , h=4½ ft.
We substitute these values into the formula to get:


If one cubic foot of water is 7½ gallons, then 2306.25 cubic feet will be

We need 307.5 gallons of water to fill the pool.
The five gallons is cheaper since 97.45 divided by 5 is equal to 19.49.
