40/10 = 4, so it will triple 4 times.
3^4 = 81

40=4 so its probably 4 millimeters
It would still be 1 millimeter, because think about it. If it triples in length every 10, you would multiply. 1 times 3 is 1 plus the other minutes making it 1. TRUST ME!!!
A certain colony of bactericia doubles in size every 5 minutes. If the colony began with 2 organisms, how many will there be after 30 minutes?
81 lol
