Question

“Just one bacterium, dividing every 20 min., could produce nearly 5,000 billion billion bacteria in one day. That is

5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bacteria."

This seems WAY too big. Could this be correct, or did she make a mistake

Answer 1

she make a mistake because 1 hour (60 minutes ) make nearly 15,000 so 24 hour is nearly 360,000 bateria. so she made a mistake.
