Answer:

5 generations

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of bacteria at the beginning of a time interval , B = 4

Number of bacteria at the end of the time interval, b = 128

Now,

The relation between the bacteria at the beginning, bacteria at the end and the number of generations (n) is given as:

b = B × 2ⁿ

Therefore,

on substituting the respective values, we get

128 = 4 × 2ⁿ

or

2ⁿ = 32

or

2ⁿ = 2⁵

or

n = 5

hence,

5 generations

aleksley [76]
To find out is 3/20 is larger than 2 we will convert 3/20 to a decimal. Lets do it:- 

3/20
3 ÷ 20 = 0.15

Is 0.15 larger than 2?

No, 0.15 is not larger than 2.

So, 3/20 isn't larger than 2.
