6. A population of 200 bacteria has the perfect
conditions to double every 20 min. How
many bacteria will there be after each
amount of time?
a) 20 min
b) 60 min
c) 4 h

pls explain too!! ty​

Answer :

y = 200 x 2(x)

y = 200 x 2(20)
y = 200 x 40
a) 8,000

y = 200 x 2(60)
y = 200 x 120
b) 24,000

y = 200 x 2(240) 240min in 4 hours
y = 200 x 480
c) 96,000

You basically just set up an equation and plug in the amount of time

I hope this helps but I’m sorry if it’s incorrect
