In a lab experiment, 5400 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 17 hours, to the nearest whole number?
It will become 45900 bacteria in 17 hours Step-by-step explanation: In 4 hours 5400 bacteria becomes 5400*2 = 10800 Therefore in 17 hours, it will become 17*10800/4 = 183600/4 = 45900
