Question

Last week the number of bacteria in a petri dish was 2.25×10 to the second power this week the number of bacteria in the petri dishes 2.75×10 to the fifth power how many times more bacteria are there in the petri dish this week

Answer 1

The answer to your question is The actual number of bacteria is 1222.2 times higher than the initial population.

Explanation:

Data

Initial number of bacteria = 2.25 x 10²

Final number of bacteria = 2.75 x 10⁵

Process

To solve this problem we just need to divide the final number of bacteria by the initial number.

=
`(2.75 x 10^(5) )/(2.25 x 10^(2))`

= 1222.22 times
