A culture of a certain bacteria doubles every hour. At 9:00 a.m, there were already 120 bacteria. Which equation represents the number of bacteria, n , at 8:00 a.m? How many bacteria were there?(1 point) Responses

1 answer

The equation that represents the number of bacteria, n, at 8:00 a.m is:

n = 120 / 2^(1)

To find out how many bacteria were there at 8:00 a.m, we can substitute the value of n into the equation:

n = 120 / 2^(1)
n = 120 / 2
n = 60

So, there were 60 bacteria at 8:00 a.m.
