A biology laboratory starts a Petri dish with 1000 bacteria. After 30.0 hours, the population is 7250. Determine the doubling time of the bacteria to the nearest tenth of an hour. The doubling-time equation is A= A0(2)^t/d where A represents the population after a period of time, A0 represents the initial population, t represents the time, and d represents the time it takes for the population to double. I already asked this question, however, i could not read the writing of the individual who wrote the solution out so I am going to ask again.

Question

A biology laboratory starts a Petri dish with 1000 bacteria. After 30.0 hours, the population is 7250. Determine the doubling time of the bacteria to the nearest tenth of an hour. The doubling-time equation is A= A0(2)^t/d

where A represents the population after a period of time, A0 represents the initial population, t represents the time, and d represents the time it takes for the population to double.

 

I already asked this question, however, i could not read the writing of the individual who wrote the solution out so I am going to ask again.
