How many cell divisions would it take to produce at least 1,000 cells from one cell? (When one cell splits in half during cell division, the result is two new cells. Each of those cells can divide into two more and so on.)

to do this you need to use indices:
1x2=2, 2x2=4 2x2x2=8.. . .
2^10(2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2) gives you 1024 cells so 10 divisions
i would say 500 u dummies
Sally is correct
that what i trying to find out my self
How many cell divisions it will take to produce 1000 new cells?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
1000 divided by 2 equals to 500
I say Jerome is right.
Thanks
Sally is wrong because when one cell divided the two it crates both divide and the four than those two cells make those divide to make 8. u dummie sally
