Question

There is a population of 192,500 bacteria in a colony. If the number of bacteria doubles every 238 minutes, what will the population be 476 minutes from now?

Answer 1

Answer:
`770,000`

Explanation:

Given

The present population of bacteria is
`1,92,500`

It doubles in every 238 minutes

So, after 238 minutes it is

`\Rightarrow 192,500* 2=385000`

After another 238 minutes i.e. 476 minutes from starting, they becomes

`\Rightarrow 385000* 2=770,000`
