A scientist is growing bacteria in a beaker. At this rate, in 4 hours, 122 bacteria have grown. How many bacteria will grow in 6 hours?(1 point)

To find out the number of bacteria that will grow in 6 hours, you need to calculate the growth rate per hour.
122 bacteria grew in 4 hours, so the growth rate per hour is 122/4 = 30.5 bacteria.
To find the number of bacteria that will grow in 6 hours, multiply the growth rate per hour by 6:
30.5 bacteria/hour * 6 hours = 183 bacteria.
Therefore, 183 bacteria will grow in 6 hours.
