    Step-by-step explanation:

    apperently every 5 min, the cell will start to divide in what can be assumed in this case by factors of 2.

    in 5 min, the cell divides into 2. In 10 min, the cell divides into 4. so on and so forth. So, when dividing an hour there are 12 groups of 5 min to complete an hour or 60 min.

    Problem: 2^12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    there are 12 5 minute periods in one hour so

    1•2=2 = 5m

    2•2=4 = 10m

    4•2=8 = 15m

    8•2=16 = 20m

    16•2=32 = 25m

    32•2=64 = 30m

    64•2=128 = 35m

    128•2=256 = 40m

    256•2=512 = 45m

    512•2=1024 = 50m

    1024•2=2048 = 55m

    2048•2=4096 = 60m
