There is a population of 60,000 bacteria in a colony. If the number of bacteria doubles every 274 hours, what will the population be 1,096 hours from now?

Sagot :

Answer: Population is 960 000

Step-by-step explanation:   At the beginning time is zero and

population 60 000.    We can count how many doubling happens.

Adding 274 hours four times, we get   274 , 548 , 822 and 1096.

So population doubles 4 times and we get numbers

120 000   240 000   480 000  and 960 000
