Question

The mass of the bacteria in the culture on any given day is what percent of the mass of bacteria in the culture exactly one day prior

Answer 1

Answer:

The population increases from 200 to 3000 in 1 hour, i.e. by a factor of 3000/200=15.

Since the growth is exponential, in 3 hours it will increase by a factor of 153=3,375, to 200*3,375=675,000.
