A scientist creates a colony of bacteria in a dish. This type of bacteria duplicates itself per minute If at 9 am the experiment started with a single cell and at 9:13 the dish was half-full, at what time will the dish be full?
Therefore at 9: 14 am, the dish will be full.
A scientist creates a colony of bacteria in a dish. this type of bacteria duplicates itself per minute. at 9 a.m., the experiment started with a single cell, and at 9: 13 am the dish was half full.
To find: at what time will the dish be full?
solution: it is an interesting question. it has given that a bacterium duplicates itself per minute. means, a bacterium becomes two bacteria every minute. if 9: am the dish is half full, so the dish will be full just after one minute. i.e., 9: the 14 am dish will be full. Therefore at 9: 14 am, the dish will be full.
