It is given that the bacteria in a colony doubles every 8 hours.
To find the population of bacteria 24 hours from now, we need to find the population of bacteria after every 8 hours.
The present population of the bacteria is 9315.
After 8 hours, the bacteria becomes double. So, the number of bacteria becomes 9315 x 2 = 18630.
Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 18630 x 2 = 37260.
Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 37260 x 2 = 74520.
Thus, after 24 hours from now, the population of the bacteria is 74520.
Answer:
6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
45x+34=24x+16
collect like terms, we now have;
45x-24x=16-34
21x=-18
X=18/21
X=6/7
The speed at which they are moving apart = 475 + 525 = 1000 mi/h
Time = distance / speed
= 6000 / 1000 = 6 hours
The answer is 6 hours.
