Answer:

(E). 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original population of each colony be P.

We have been given that a certain bacteria colony doubles in size every day, so bacteria colony is growing exponentially. After x days, the population of bacteria would be:

P(2)^x

The population after 19 days will be P(2)^{19} for each colony.

The total population of both the colonies at that point will be P(2)^{19}+P(2)^{19}=2P(2)^{19}=P(2)^{20} which is what the habitat's limit is.

Therefore, it will take 19 days for two bacteria colonies to reach the habitat's limit and option E is the correct choice.

0f the 64 students in grade five, 3/8 of them either walk or ride a bike to school. The rest take a bus. How many fifth graders
UkoKoshka [18]
40 fifth graders take a bus to school. 8x8= 64 so they have you a good fraction to start with to find out how many kids are walking or taking their bike (3/8) all you have to do is multiply 3 and 8 which equals 24 to find the fraction of the amount of kids who take the bus you subtract 3 from 8 which gives 5/8 and to get the answer you multiply 5 and 8 which is 40.
