The bacteria grow from 1,000 bacteria into 12,500 bacteria in 12 hours.  The exponent function would be
:an= ao(1+r)^t12.500= 1,000(1+r)^121,000(12.5)= 1,000(1+r)^1212.5= (1+r)^121+r= 1.23427r= 0.23Number of bacteria after 20hr would be:an= ao(1+r)^tan= 1,000(1+0.23)^20an= 1,000(62.821 )an= 62,821

What fraction is represented by the portion of the figure that is NOT shaded? (2 out of 10 are shaded)
OverLord2011 [107]

Well let's see.

If the figure is split up into 10 pieces, then
each piece is  1/10  of the whole figure.

If  2  of the pieces are shaded, then
2/10  of the whole figure is shaded.

How many pieces are left ?

There were 10 pieces all together, and
2 of them are shaded.  Hmmm.  I think
there are probably  (10 - 2) = 8  of them left
that are not shaded.

8 pieces makes  8/10  of the whole figure.
