How many bacteria are produced in four hours if a bacteriaum divides once in half an hour?
Sampadagorivale
Let's assume you start with one bacterium:
Step by step this gives you:
½ hour: 2
1 hour: 4
1½ hours: 8
2 hours: 16
2½ hours: 32
3 hours: 64
3½ hours: 128
4 hours: 256
You will notice that the number doubles each hour. So you can just apply the formula: bacteria = 2t, where t is the number of time periods. In this case we have 8 half-hours, so that's 28, or 256.

A bacteria splits in half after 20 minutes so that after 20 minutes there are 2 bacteria and after 40 minutes there are 4 bacteria How many bacteria will there be after 2 hours?
A bacteria splits in half after 20 minutes, so that after 20 minutes there are 2 bacteria, and after 40 minutes there are 4 bacteria. How many bacteria will there be after 2 hours?
How many bacteria do you have from a single bacterium after 24 hours if it reproduces every hour?
You will have 16,777,216 bacteria after 24 hours if it reproduces once.
How many bacteria is there in 5 hours?
there are more than 10,000 bacterium in 5 hours
If one bacteria doubles every twenty minutes how many bacteria would you have after seven hours?
2,097,152
If one bacterium divides once every 20 minutes how many would there be after six hours?
After six hours, and assuming they all survive dividing, you would have 232144
After twenty four hours how many bacteria can be produced?
It depends on the species of bacteria as some divide more rapidly than others.
If a certain bacterium divides every 30 min when will there be more than 1000 bacteria?
It would take 5 hours to get over 1000.
How many Bacteria are produced after 12 hours?
There were 20000*(1+340/100) = 20000*4.4 = 88000
If a bacterium divides every 30 minutes producing two bacteria how many bacteria would a single colony contain after 24 hours if it began as a single bacterium?
I would say 2,361,183,241,434,822,606,848 based on: every 20 minutes for 24 hours = 72 times "doubling" after the initial doubling of 1 to 2, that leaves 71 more times, so the equation should be 271 = 2,361,183,241,434,822,606,848 ~= 2.36118324 × 1021
