Question

If a bacterial cell divides in every 20 minutes, how many bacteria will be formed in 2 hours?​

Answer 1

the bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, = 3. If the bacteria grow for six hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 6 hours = 18 times. Every time the bacteria reproduce, the number doubles.
