Question

If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 475 hours and there is currently a population of 65 bacteria, what will the population be 950 hours from now?

Answer 1

The population of bacteria doubles every 475 hours, so after 475 hours, the population will be 65 * 2 = <<65*2=130>>130 bacteria.
After another 475 hours, the population will be 130 * 2 = <<130*2=260>>260 bacteria.
After another 475 hours, the population will be 260 * 2 = <<260*2=520>>520 bacteria.
After another 475 hours, the population will be 520 * 2 = <<520*2=1040>>1040 bacteria.
After 950 hours, the population will be 1040 bacteria. Answer: \boxed{1040}.
