I got 5 inches b/c 8-5 1/4 equals to 2 3/4. 2 3/4 is equal to two feet and 9 inches. 28 inches is equal to two feet and four inches. Nine inches minus four inches equals five inches.
The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.
An exponential function is given by:
y = abˣ
where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.
Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.
Given that he starts his experiment with 500 bacteria, hence
a = 500
The bacteria grow at a rate of 16% per hour, hence:
b = 100% + 16% = 1.16
The exponential equation becomes:
y = 500(1.16)ˣ
After 8 hours:
y = 500(1.16)⁸ = 1639
The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.
