There is a total 80 number of cells present after 1 hour.
There is a total of five cells we have initially.
Now, the cells are converted into two parts every 15 minutes.
We need to determine the count of the cells after 1 hour.
Therefore,
The count of the cell after every 15 minutes is the multiplication of two from the current value of the cell.
Cells after 15 minutes will be,
[tex]5 \times 2=10[/tex]
Cells after 30 minutes will be,
[tex]10 \times 2=20[/tex]
Cells after 45 minutes will be,
[tex]20 \times 2=40[/tex]
Cells after 60 minutes that is 1 hour will be,
[tex]40 \times 2=80[/tex]
Thus, there is a total 80 number of cells present after 1 hour.
