SOLUTION: The generation time for bacteria is the time it takes for the population to double. The generation time G can be found using experimental data and the formula {{{G=(t/(3.3log(F/b))

Question 877293: The generation time for bacteria is the time it takes for the population to double. The generation time G can be found using experimental data and the formula where t is the time period, b is the number of bacteria at the beginning of the experiment and f is the number of bacteria at the end of the experiment.
The generation time for mycobacterium tuberculosis is 16 hours. How long will it take for two of these bacteria to multiply into 256 bacteria?
