Show work.

Answer 1

2

Step-by-step explanation:

`(bacteria)/(broth)= (200)/(100)`

`(200)/(100) = 2`

There should be 2 bacteria per 1ml of broth.

Answer 2

2 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

200 bacteria are present in 100mL of broth.

Therefore, X bacteria will be present in 1mL of broth i.e

X bacteria = 200/100

X bacteria = 2

Therefore, there are 2 bacteria in 1mL of broth
