If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 341 minutes and there is currently a population of 1,630 bacteria, what will the population be 1,705 minutes from now?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate how many times the population doubles in 1,705 minutes. We do this by dividing 1,705 minutes by 341 minutes: 1,705 minutes / 341 minutes = <<1705/341=5>>5 times.
Now we need to calculate the final population size by multiplying the current population size by 2, for each of the 5 times the population doubles: 1,630 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 41,280. Answer: \boxed{41,280}.
