Question

a culture started with 2000 bacteria after 6 hours it grew to 2400 bacteria how many bacteria will grow after 16 hours

Answer 1

First, you have to find the unit rate by dividing
2000/6=333.33 but round it up to 333
So the unit rate is 333 bacteria per hour
Then, you have to multiply
333x16= 5,328 bacteria after 16 hours

The answer is that in 16 hours, there will be 5,328 bacteria

I hope this helps
