Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:if it grows 300 in 6 hours you can assume that each hour would increase the pop by 50 so 10 hours times 50 it will become 1500.

Answer:

1350

Explanation:

If a culture started with 1000 bacteria and after 6 hours it few to 1300 bacteria, there would be 1350 present after 10 hours.

1000 to 1100 is an increase of 100 bacteria per 6 hours.

1100+250= 1350
