Question

There is a population of 192,500 bacteria in a colony. If the number of bacteria doubles every 238 minutes, what will the population be 476 minutes from now?

Answer 1

Answer: $770,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The present population of bacteria is $1,92,500$

It doubles in every 238 minutes

So, after 238 minutes it is

$\Rightarrow 192,500\times 2=385000$

After another 238 minutes i.e. 476 minutes from starting, they becomes

$\Rightarrow 385000\times 2=770,000$
