Question

Ms. Masse's biology class is conducting an experiment

to record the growth of a certain kind of bacteria. Each
student has a lab dish containing 2 bacteria which are
able to double every day. How many bacteria will be
present in a student's lab dish after two weeks?

Answer 1

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
Five days

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
Full week

10 x 2 = 20

14 x 2 = 28

The bacteria will double every day for a total of 20/28 bacteria on the last day.
