You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.
The number of double-times it'll take is
[ log(1.6) / (log(2) ] = 0.6781 .
The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them
0.6781 x 12 hours = 8.137 hours
= 8 hours 8.2 minutes .
Just multiply the with and the length by four (considering the scale factor is 4)
3x4=12 and 7x4=28
The answer is: <span>If you triple the number of miles Karin lives from the school and then add six, you get 17 miles.</span>
Well they painted HALF the room in 3/4 of an hour.
That means that, considering they keep up the same speed, it will take them 3/4 of an hour to do the OTHER half.
This means that it will take them....
1 and 1/2 hours to do their entire room.
