Last week the number of bacteria in a petri dish was 2.25×10 to the second power this week the number of bacteria in the petri dishes 2.75×10 to the fifth power how many times more bacteria are there in the petri dish this week

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is The actual number of bacteria is 1222.2 times higher than the initial population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Initial number of bacteria = 2.25 x 10²

Final number of bacteria = 2.75 x 10⁵

Process

To solve this problem we just need to divide the final number of bacteria by the initial number.

                             = [tex]\frac{2.75 x 10^{5} }{2.25 x 10^{2}}[/tex]

                            = 1222.22 times
