Question

A Petri dish hosts a healthy colony of bacteria. Once a minute every
bacterium divides into two. The colony was founded by a single cell at
noon. At exactly 12:43 (43 minutes later) the Petri dish was half full
At what time will the dish be full?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12:44 is the time when petri dish is full of bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take an example, if there are 50 bacteria in the petri dish at 12:43 and the total capacity of petri dish to accumulate bacteria is 100. A bacterium divide in a single minute then how much it takes 50 bacteria to divide and become 100.

Yes right it's a simple math - 1 minute because all the bacteria are simultaneously devided, not one by one.

So answer is 12:44 is the time when petri dish is full of bacteria
