Problema Solution

The bacteria in a certain culture double every 6.3 hours. The culture has 7,500 bacteria at the start.How many bacteria will the culture contain after 5 hours?

Answer provided by our tutors

The number of bacteria after t hours = 7500*2^(t/6.3)

Here t = 5

So M =  7500*2^(5/6.3)= 13000.9 = 13,001

So 13,001 bacteria will the culture contain after 5 hours
