The population of bacteria will double every 203 minutes, so after 203 minutes there will be 40 * 2 = 80 bacteria.
After another 203 minutes, there will be 80 * 2 = 160 bacteria.
After another 203 minutes, there will be 160 * 2 = 320 bacteria.
After another 203 minutes, there will be 320 * 2 = 640 bacteria.
Therefore, after 812 minutes, the population of bacteria will be 640.
If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 203 minutes and there is currently a population of 40 bacteria, what will the population be 812 minutes from now?
