If one bacteria will double every 20 minutes, how many bacteria will there be I'm 24 hours
B=1*2^(24/(1/3))
B= 2^72
Put this in your google search window:
2^72 =
To determine the number of bacteria after 24 hours, we need to calculate the number of doubling cycles that occur in that time period.
Given that one bacterium doubles every 20 minutes, we can calculate the number of doubling cycles in 24 hours (which is equal to 1440 minutes).
First, we divide 1440 by 20 to find the number of 20-minute intervals in 24 hours:
1440 / 20 = 72
Therefore, there will be 72 doubling cycles in 24 hours.
Since each doubling cycle doubles the number of bacteria, we can calculate the total number of bacteria by raising 2 to the power of the number of doubling cycles:
2^72 ≈ 4.7 x 10^21
Hence, after 24 hours, there will be approximately 4.7 x 10^21 bacteria.
