Bacteria doubles every 10 minutes. If you start with 2 bacteria in a petri dish, how many bacteria will there be after 40 minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer: I think the answer is 32 bacteria after 40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that's right because the bacteria that have previously multiplied will also be multiplying. 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, etc. until you've reached 40 minutes. (I'm honestly unsure, but I think this is right?) I hope this helped!
