Bacteria divided after every 3 min and their number becomes double( increases by 100%)
it takes 14 min to completely fill the bowl
division just before getting the bowl must have occurred 3 min earlier and bowl must have been half filled
14min - 3min = 11 min
bowl filled = half
Division just before getting bowl half filled must haven taken at
11-3min = 8min
and bacteria must have been quarterly filled
