Question

In a lab experiment, 30 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such

that the number of bacteria is able to double every 4 hours. How many bacteria would
there be after 26 hours, to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

In the nearest whole number there would be 1920 Bacteria after 26 hours

Explanation:

4÷26= 6 reminder 2

30 multiply by 2, 6 times

because it said that it would double every 4 hours

30×2×2×2×2×2×2=

60×2×2×2×2×2=

120×2×2×2×2=

240×2×2×2=

480×2×2=

960×2=

1920
