che population be 936 hours from now?
bacteria

Answer:

2,48,000

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Initial population of bacteria = 15,500

  • Bacteria doubles after every 234 hours

  • So, after 0 (zero) hours, no of bacteria = 15,500

  • After 234 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(15,500) = 31,000

  • After 468 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(31,000) = 62,000 (2*234 = 468)

  • After 702 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(62,000) = 124,000 (3*234 = 702)

  • After 936 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(124000) = 2,48,000 (4*234 = 936)
