Protozoa are single-celled organisms. Paramecium aurelia is one type of protozoan. The number of paramecium aurelia doubles every 1.25 days. There was one protozoan on a slide 5 days ago. How many are there now?

16 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of paramecium Aurelia doubles every 1.25days

5 days ago ; number of paramecium Aurelia = 1

How many are there now?

Using the relation :

Multiplier^(total number of days / time it takes to multiply)

Multiplier = doubles = 2

Total number rof days =. 5

Time it takes to. Multiply = 1.25

The formula becomes :

Number(n) of ptotozoan in 5days is given by 2^(5/1.25)

n = 2^(5/1.25)

n = 2^4

n = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 =. 16

hm let me think hm think think hm think yes
