A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 2900 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}}P t =P0⋅2 dt , where P_tP is the population after t hours, P_0P0 is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time, what is the population of bacteria in the culture after 13 hours, to the nearest whole number?

17,582

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Population,

Rate of Increase, r = 2

Doubling Time, d=5 Hours

P(t)=Population after t hours

We want to determine the population of bacteria after 13 hours.

i.e When t=13 hours

The population after 13 hours is 17,582 to the nearest whole number.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
