Call the initial amount of amoebae a. Then the total amount of amoebae at time intervals of ten minutes, t, is

  • a*2t

At 10 minutes, the total amount of amoebae is

  • a*21
  • = a

At 30 minutes, the total amount of amoebae is

  • a*23
  • = 8a

a/8a = 1/8, so 1/8 of the present amoebae originated from the first ten minutes.
