Answer: There would be 12,000 bacteria 8 hours after the initial infection.
Step-by-step explanation: You start with 25 cells and if they divide every 15 minutes, 25 multiplied by 15 gets you 375 cells every quarter of an hour. Then if you multiply that by the 32 quarter hours, you get 12,000 cells. To check that you can also multiply 25 by 15, still 375, then 375 by 4 for each quarter of the hour, then that gets you 1,500 cells every hour. If you multiply that by 8 for the 8 hours they have time to divide, you still get 12,000 cells.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
2000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
When the motorboat is moving downstream, its speed relative to the ground is 18 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is 15 km/h.
When the motorboat is moving upstream, its speed relative to the ground is 12 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is again 15 km/h.
Converted to m/min, the relative speed is:
15 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 60 min) = 250 m/min
It takes the motorboat 16 minutes to travel to the front of the raft and back. Since the speed is the same in both directions, the motorboat takes 8 minutes to travel the length of the raft.
So the length of the raft is 250×8 = 2000 meters.
