PLEASE HELP WILL MEDAL A certain bacterial culture is multiplying in a culture dish, doubling in size every 10 minutes. It takes exactly two hours to fill the whole dish. How long does it take to fill half the dish?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120-10=110 min

OpenStudy (perl):

how did you get that

OpenStudy (perl):

lets use an equation y = Ao * 2 ^ t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since bacteria doubles every ten minutes, then before 10 min of 2 hrs, the bowl should be half so that after 10 min it doubles

OpenStudy (perl):

very good
