Question

Researchers recorded that a group of bacteria grew from 100 to 7,000 in 14 hours. At this rate of growth, how many bacteria will there be in 32 hours from the start of the experiment? Round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

Here bacteria grew from 100to7000 in 14 hrs

so bacteria grew in 14 hrs are=7000 -100=6900

In 1 hr 6900/14 bacteria grew

so in 32hrs bacteria will be:

6900/14×32=15771.42=15771

hope it will help you
