Answer: There are 2.25×10³⁴ bacteria at the end of 24 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bacteria initially = 1

It triples in number every 20 minutes.

So, \dfrac{20}{60}=\dfrac{1}{3}

So, our equation becomes

y=y_0e^{\frac{1}{3}k}\\\\3=1e^{\frac{1}{3}k}\\\\\ln 3=\dfrac{1}{3}k\\\\k=\dfrac{1.099}{0.333}=3.3

We need to find the number of bacteria that it will contain at the end of 24 hours.

So, it becomes,

y=1e^{24\times 3.3}\\\\y=e^{79.1}\\\\y=2.25\times 10^{34}

Hence, there are 2.25×10³⁴ bacteria at the end of 24 hours.

T÷5/12= -3/10<br> Thank you if you help :)

Answer:

t = -1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

t / 5/12 = -3/10          Invert the 5/12 and multiply:

12t / 5 = -3/10

Cross multiply:

12t * 10 = 5 * -3

120t = -15

t = -15/120 = -1/8.
