cells triple every four hours write an expression for 24 hours.

Answer 1

Hi Celia-

let's say we begin with X cells.

Four hours later there are 2*X cells

four hours after THAT [8 hrs] 2*2*X

four hours LATER [12 hrs] 2*2*2*X

four hours LATER [16 hrs] 2*2*2*2*X

four hours LATER [20 hrs] 2*2*2*2*2*X

four hours LATER [24 hrs] 2*2*2*2*2*2*X

that is 2⁶ * X

Can I help you with anything else?\
