The current population of a certain bacteria is 2612 organism. it is believed that bacteria's population is tripling every 11 minutes. approximate the population of the bacteria 5 minutes from now.

The population of bacteria would be approximately 3561 5 minute from now

Step-by-step explanation:

We use a  rule of three to find the rate of growth at 5 minutes:

11/3= 5/x

It reads- if every 11 minutes we have a population 3 times bigger then every 5 minutes we have a population x times bigger. Doing the rule of three:

x= (5*3)/11= 15/11=1.36 approximately

So the population at 5 minutes from now would 1,36 times bigger or

Population = 15/11 * 2612 =1.36 * 2612= 3561.8 or 3561

45

step-by-step explanation:

to find a percentage, add a decimal in front and multiply it by the other number.

.25 times 180= 45
