The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 12 h. the population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. how long will it take for the population of the bacteria to reach 800?

0.096 hours which when multiplied gives you 5 hours

Explanation: Initially the population is 500 organisms which is the 0 hour,then do the following calculation:

800 x 0.06 ÷ 500 = 0.096

The 0.06 comes from:

1000x ÷ (500x12) = 0.06
