Question
Suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is 60,000 bacteria per milliliter. If the concentration triples in 4 days, how long will it take for the concentration to
reach 102,000 bacteria per mililiter?
It will take about
days for the concentration of a bacteria sample to reach 102,000 bacteria per millifer.
(Round the final answer to the nearest hundredth as needed. Round all intermediate values to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
