Question

A population of bacteria doubles in size every minute. The number of bacteria after 5 minutes is 15 x 25. How many are there after 5 minutes? ​

Answer 1

3750 bacteria

Explanation:

So if the number of bacteria is 375 because it's 15 x 25 then you would multiply 375 by 2 to get the number of bacteria every minute which is 750 then multiply that by 5 because that would be the number of bacteria that you get after 5 minutes which is 3750
