The growth factor for the mass of bacteria is 2.8 in 1 week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
It is given that the bacteria in the culture increase by 260% per week. Now we assign values to get a better understanding. If there were 1,000 bacteria in the culture at the start of the week there would be 1,000 + 260% at the week's end = 1,000 + 2,600 = 3,600 at the week's end.
Step 2:
To calculate the growth factor, we calculate the difference between the present value and the past value and divide it by the past value.
Here the past value is 1,000 and the present value is 2,600.
Growth factor = 
So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.
The ordered pairs would be,
(1, 8.5)
(2, 8)
(3, 7.5)
(4,7)
(5, 6.5)
(6, 6)
I got the ordered pairs from the question since it stated that the length of the candle decreased .5 every hour. I just corresponded the hour to the length of the candle.
I hope this helped!

Answer:
44 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
I would set this up as a proportion-
20 x
5 11
Then cross multiply-
20 x 11 = 220
Divide-
220/5 = 44
It would have him 44 minutes to read 11 pages
