Question

A scientist is growing bacteria in a beaker. At this rate, in 4 hours, 122 bacteria have grown. How many bacteria will grow in 6 hours

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the growth rate of the bacteria, divide the number of bacteria grown in 4 hours by 4: 122 bacteria / 4 hours = <<122/4=30.5>>30.5 bacteria/hour

Then multiply the hourly growth rate by the number of hours to find the total number of bacteria: 30.5 bacteria/hour * 6 hours = <<30.5*6=183>>183 bacteria. Answer: \boxed{183}.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find out the number of bacteria that will grow in 6 hours, we need to determine the growth rate per hour.

The growth rate per hour can be calculated by dividing the total number of bacteria that grew in 4 hours (122 bacteria) by the number of hours (4 hours).

So, the growth rate per hour is 122 bacteria / 4 hours = 30.5 bacteria per hour.

To calculate the number of bacteria that will grow in 6 hours, we can multiply the growth rate per hour by the number of hours:

30.5 bacteria per hour * 6 hours = 183 bacteria.

Therefore, in 6 hours, 183 bacteria will grow.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine how many bacteria will grow in 6 hours, we need to find the growth rate of the bacteria per hour.

First, let's calculate the growth rate per hour by dividing the number of bacteria grown in 4 hours (122) by the number of hours (4):

Growth rate per hour = 122 bacteria ÷ 4 hours = 30.5 bacteria per hour.

Now that we know the growth rate per hour is 30.5 bacteria, we can use this rate to calculate the number of bacteria that will grow in 6 hours:

Number of bacteria in 6 hours = Growth rate per hour × Number of hours
= 30.5 bacteria per hour × 6 hours
= 183 bacteria.

Therefore, in 6 hours, approximately 183 bacteria will grow in the beaker.
