The population of Amoeba Proteus is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present in a culture that provides plenty of food and space. Initially, there were 250 amoeba, and after 7 hours 800 amoebas were observed in the culture. Determine the estimated time that it will take for the amoeba to increase
