...bacteria..cont. help :D? FULL QUESTON
A bacteria culture doubles every 15 min how long will it take for a culture of 20 bacteria to grow a population of 163840.
the answer in the back of the book says 3.25 hours
thanks a lot D
 
I think its 1.28 hours or 1 hour 11.78 minutes. Not sure, but in reality you should tell your teacher or whoever that it is impossible to know because you do not know what rate the bacteria will die at, how long they live, and what the maximum population is.

nevermind, they got it.
