Question

While looking at bacteria under a microscope, you decide to take a break. When you return, the amount of bacteria has doubled in size. Your break probably only took _____.

A. 24 hours
B. 1-3 hours
C. 8 hours
D. 48 hours

Answer 1

Well, it depends what kind of bacteria. How fast can it grow? What size is it?

Answer 2

I would say B) 1-3 hours because Bacteria can multiply anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes and if it doubled in size 1-3 hours would be the most reasonable option!
