Question

At 10:05 a.m., there are 2 microscopic bacteria cells in the bottle. At 10:15 a.m., there are 8 cells in the bottle.

At what time will there be 16 cells in the bottle?



At what time will there be 64 cells in the bottle?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: At 10:20 a.m., there will be 16 cells in the bottle.

At 10:30 a.m. there will be 64 cells in the bottle .

Explanation:

Since we have given that

At 10:05 a.m. number of microscopic bacteria cells in the bottle = 2

At 10:15 a.m. number of microscopic bacteria cells in the bottle = 8

It means in every 5 times the number of microscopic bacteria cells in the bacteria gets twice itself.

So, by following the same pattern we can get that,

At 10:20 a.m. number of microscopic bacteria cells in the bottle is given by

`8* 2=16`

Hence, At 10:20 a.m., there will be 16 cells in the bottle.

Similarly,

At 10:25 a.m. number of microscopic bacteria cells in the bottle is given by

`16* 2=32`

At 10:30 a.m. number of microscopic bacteria cells in the bottle will be

`32* 2=64`

Hence, At 10:30 a.m. there will be 64 cells in the bottle .
