After 20 mins. 1 bacterium splits into 2, and after 40 mins those two split, making 4, and then those 4 split on the hour, doubling their numbers, giving 8 :D hope this helped

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
If your bacteria reproduce every 20 minutes how many bacteria would you have at the end of twenty four hours assuming that you begin with one bacterium?
64x10^18 power or 64,000,000,000,000,000,000. 64 exa bacterium)
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.
If a bacterium could divide into two every 20 minutes how many bacteria would be produced after 8 hours?
20 minutes = 1/3rd of an hour8 hours = (8 x 3) = 24 thirds of an hour = 24 divisions.If all survive and reproduce, the population after 24 divisions = 224 = 16,777,216 bugs.
What is greater 240 minutes or three hours?
240 minutes is greater - it is 4 hours. Every hour has 60 minutes
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
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.
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

What is greater 240 minutes or three hours?
240 minutes is greater - it is 4 hours. Every hour has 60 minutes
How many minutes equal 4 hours and why?
60 minutes is in every hour so if there is 4 hours, then 60x4=240 minutes
888 minutes is how many hours and minutes?
888 minutes = 888/60 hours = 14.8 hours = 14 hours 48 minutes (every 0.1 of an hour is six minutes and 0.8 hour = 6 x 8 minutes = 48 minutes)
How many hours are in 217 minutes?
Every 60 minutes is 1 hour. So 217 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 3.62 hours
How to pretend your in labor?
Pretend you have a bad belly ache. Every five minutes, clutch your stomach and act like it hurts. Do that for a couple of hours. Then do it every three or four minutes for a couple of hours. Do it every two minutes for a couple of hours. That's what labor is like.
