there will be 16 bacteria.
you take 2 time 4 to find out how many bacteria in one then 2 times 4 is 8 so 8 times 2.. equals 16
We are learning about exponents, I don't think this is the correct answer, anybody esle have a thought?
You're right, Kam. Caitlin's answer is not correct. Please see my post to you above.
The total number is 512.
