Apopulation of bacteria doubles every 18 hours. initially, the population of bacteria is 50. what is the population of the bacteria after 60 hours?

technically 666.7 but rounded in 667

666.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the bacteria double every 18 hours. The initial population is 50.

After 18 hours - 100

After another 18 hours - 200

After another 18 hours - 400.

We are now up to 54 hours. With just 6 more hours to go, by how much does the bacteria increase? 6 hours is 1/3 of 18 or 0.3333.... If we had another 18 hours the bacteria would have grown to 800. Instead it grows a 1/3 of this.

The bacteria is 400+266.67 = 666.7 at 60 hours.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
