Question

Five bacterial land on food , Bacteria divide in 20 min by nerivison calculate how many bacteria will be there after 8 hours. Can I get the answer please and also what’s the formula?

Answer 1

The formula to calculate the number of bacteria after a certain amount of time is N = N0 * 2^(t/g), where N is the final number of bacteria, N0 is the initial number of bacteria, t is the time in minutes, and g is the generation time in minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the number of bacteria after a certain amount of time is:

• N = N0 * 2t/g

Where N is the final number of bacteria, N0 is the initial number of bacteria, t is the time in minutes, and g is the generation time in minutes.

In this case, the initial number of bacteria is 5 and the generation time is 20 minutes. To calculate the number of bacteria after 8 hours (480 minutes), we can plug in these values into the formula:

• N = 5 * 2480/20

Simplifying the equation, we get:

• N = 5 * 224

Using a calculator, the result is approximately 167772160 bacteria after 8 hours.
