Researchers recorded that a group of
bacteria grew from 125 to 2,500 in 24 hours. At this
rate of growth, how many bacteria will there be
in 35 hours from the start of the experiment? Round
to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The number of bacteria grown in 35 hours is 15771

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Researchers recorded that a group of bacteria grew from 100 to 7,000 in 14 hours.

Therefore, the bacteria has grown from 100 to 7000 in 14 hours.

To calculate number of bacteria grown in 14 hours :

⇒ 7000 - 100 = 6900

6900 bacteria grows in 14 hours. We need to find out the growth of bacteria in 1 hour in order to calculate its growth in 32 hours.

To calculate number of bacteria grown in 1 hour :

⇒ Total bacteria growth in 14 hours / 14

⇒ 6900 / 14

⇒ 492.85

To calculate number of bacteria grown in 32 hours :

⇒ 492.85 × 32

⇒ 15771.2

⇒ 15771  (rounded to nearest whole number)

∴ The number of bacteria grown in 32 hours is 15771

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day
