    Answer: 39 minutes 51 seconds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Nt=N0 * 2^n

    N0=Initial population

    n=number of times bacteria divide

    700=320*2^n

    log2 (700/320) = 1.129283017=n

    45/1.129283017=39.84829252 minutes

    0.84829252*60=50.89755135≈51seconds

    so the answer is

    39minutes and 51seconds
