A single cell dividing at the rate of once every 20 minutes produces how many cells in 12 hours?

Answer 1

So you can set a equation up as: y = 2^(x/20)

x = the minutes

y = the number of cells

Then you calculate how many minutes are in 12 hours.

60 minutes x 12 = 720 minutes

y = 2^(720/20)

y= 68,719,476,736 cells
