Question

Juan starts a bacteria culture and records the number of bacteria in the Petri dish for the first couple of hours.

Hours 0 , 1 , 3
Bacteria 160 , 320 , 640

If the pattern continues, how many bacteria can he expect to find after 17 h?

Answer 1

The answer above me is incorrect, I've done the quiz myself and the answer was actually 20,971,520

Answer 2

Take 160 and multiply by 17. Then add an extra 160, since it starts with that
