What will the population of bacteria be if I have 55 bacteria to start and it doubles every hour for 3 hours?

440

330 Bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find other hours and put it into equation form it would be:

55 * 2x = b

x being the hours and b being the total bacteria.

55 * 2 (3) = b

55 * 6 = b

55 * 6 = 330

After 3 hours you would get 330 bacteria
