Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:

Add the whole numbers:

Now add the fractions:

add both together:

is an improper fraction so change it:

Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with 
Your answer is 
Answer: There is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Initial bacteria = 2600
After two and a half hours,
Number of bacteria = 2873
We need to find the continuous growth rate per hour.
As we know the equation for continuous growth rate per hour.

Hence, there is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.
