Question 1043265: if the population of bacteria in a culture flask doubles every 20 minutes, by what factor has the population increased after 3 hours 20 minutes? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the population doubles every 20 minutes, then in 3 hours and 20 minutes it will have doubled 10 times, so it will be 2^10 its original size. Thus it will be 1024x its original number.!!!!!
