Question

If a bacterium cell devides in every 20 minutes how many bacteria will be formed in two hours

Answer 1

Answer:

In this example, 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.
