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?(1 point)

bacteria

1 answer

To find the rate of bacteria growth per hour, divide the total number of bacteria grown in 4 hours by 4: 122 bacteria / 4 hours = <<122/4=30.5>>30.5 bacteria/hour
To find the total number of bacteria grown in 6 hours, multiply the rate of growth per hour by 6: 30.5 bacteria/hour * 6 hours = <<30.5*6=183>>183 bacteria. Answer: \boxed{183}.
