To find out the number of bacteria that will grow in 6 hours, we can set up a proportion:
4 hours / 122 bacteria = 6 hours / x bacteria
Cross multiplying, we get: 4x = 6 * 122
Simplifying: 4x = 732
Dividing both sides by 4 to solve for x, we get: x = 183
Therefore, 183 bacteria will grow in 6 hours.
A scientist is growing bacteria in a beaker. At this rate, in 4 hours, 122 bacteria have grown. How many bacteria will grow in 6 hours.
