The conversion factor is that 1 minute=60 seconds

so 135 (seconds) × 1 (minute)/60 (seconds)

Cancel out seconds and then divide 135 by 60 to get your answer.

Answer

Find out the conversion factor for seconds to minutes and convert 135 seconds to minutes.

To prove

1 minute = 60 second

for seconds to minutes.

$1 second = \frac{1}{60}\ minutes$

Therefore the conversion factor for seconds to minutes be

$= \frac{1}{60}\ minutes$

Now convert 135 seconds to minutes.

$= \frac{135\times 1}{60}$

= 2.25 minutes

Hence proved

Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

At 25% per day, it will take approximately 3 days to double the population, so approximately 6 days for the population to quadruple. Checking that number, we find it is not quite enough for the experiment, so another day is required.

"Guess and check" as a method of solution works especially well if you have an automated checker to evaluate your guess. A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can work well for this.

_____

We guess 3 days as the doubling time using the "rule of 72" that says the product of percentage and doubling time is about 72. That is, 72/25 ≈ 3. (This is only a very rough approximation of doubling time, best for rates near 8%.)
