I believe it should be 8.1237 x 10^6
The "6" will move the decimal 6 to the right and
give you your original number.

2. Georgina is collecting data on the growth of E-coli bacteria. Each E-coli cell reproduces by dividing in half every 20 minutes.
part a. If Georgina starts with 1 e-coli, how many cells will be in the sample after 120 minutes?
After 20 minutes there will be 2 cells
After 2*20 minutes there will be 4=2^2
After 3*20 minutes there will be 8=2^3
120/20=6
2^6=64 E-coli after 120 minutes
-----------------
part b. After how many minutes will there be 256 cells in sample?
256=2^8
8*20=160 minutes
After 160 minutes there will be 256 cells of E-coli.
