The count of bacteria in a culture is 10 and doubles every 20 minutes. Find the population size after 11 hours. Can someone expl
1 answer:
Since you asked how to solve this, I will put the answer at the bottom.
You might not think the same way as I but I think in steps.
<h3>(1) Calculate how many times the bacteria divide in eleven hours</h3>The bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, 60/20 = 3.
If the bacteria grow for eleven hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 11 hours = 33 times.
<h3>(2) Add the orginial size of bacteria into the equation</h3>(This part is edited)
(orginial size)*2^number of divisions
10*

361 lollipop candies or 697 gummy bear candies fills the bag of volume 528 in.³, which gives the following possible equation;
- 1.46•l + 0.76•g = 528
Volume of candy bag = 528 in.³
Number of lollipop candies the bag can hold = 361 candies
Number of gummy bear candies the bag can hold = 697 candies
Therefore;
Which gives the following equation;
- 1.46•l + 0.76•g = 528
