Under ideal conditions a certain bacteria population is known to double every three hours. Suppose there are initially 110 bacteria.

What is the size of the population after 9 hours?

880 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria population doubles every 3 hours

Initial population of bacteria at zeroth hour = 110

Population of bacteria at the third hour = 110 * 2 = 220

Population of bacteria at the sixth hour = 220*2 = 440

Population of bacteria at the ninth hour = 440*2 = 880
