Question 768032
A certain virus has an average doubling time of 28.5 minutes in the human body.
 How long does it take 1 virus to grow to a billion (1E9) viruses?
 Time in hours (1 decimal)
{{{2^(t/28.5) = 10^9}}}
:
{{{t/28.5}}}*log(2) = 9
{{{t/28.5}}} = {{{9/log(2)}}}
{{{t/28.5}}} = 29.9
t = 28.5 * 29.9
t = 852 min
:
{{{852/60}}} = 14.2 hrs
