if there are 1000 e coli on an uncooked hamburger that someone ate and the bacteria reproduces every 20 minutes how many will there be in 12 hours?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do u know how to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so but to be sure let me research and see :D.

I assume this means the population of bacteria doubles every 20 minutes: they reproduce asexually, so they basically split in two. Just do the math and you'll find the answer :)

ok
