... :)... A number of bacteria are placed in a utensil. One second later each bacteria divides into two, the next second each of the resulting bacteria divides in two again and so on. After a minute the utensil is full. When was the utensil Half full ?

@Thoughts @e.cociuba

it is half full one second before the minute ends because it doubles each second and must be half full one second before it is full

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or just 59 seconds

OpenStudy (goformit100):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if I have half full utensil and it is doubling cells each second then one second later it will be all the way full
