If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 475 hours and there is currently a population of 65 bacteria, what will the population be 950 hours from now???

Respuesta :

The population (number of bacteria in the colony), 950 hours from that time, will be 260 bacteria

Determining the population of bacteria

From the question, we are to determine what the population will be after 950 hours

From the given information,

The number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 475 hours

The current population is 65 bacteria

∴ After 475 hours, the new population will be 2 × 65 bacteria

New population after 475 hours = 130 bacteria

After another 475 hours (that is, 950 hours from the initial time),

The population will be 2 × 130 bacteria = 260 bacteria

Hence, the population, 950 hours from that time, will be 260 bacteria
