Answer:
4082
22976
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of colonies will be given by
[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex]
Where A is the final number of colonies, P is the initial number, r is the rate of growth in decimal and t is time
Taking r as 0.144 and t as 12 hours then P is given as 725
[tex]A=725e^{0.144*12}=4081.30330894157\approx 4082[/tex]
When t is 1 day, 24 hours then
[tex]A=725e^{0.144*24}=22975.2230338999\approx 22976[/tex]
