Streptococcus bacteria cause the well-known illness, strep throat. This bacteria doubles, or reproduce exponentially every twenty minutes. Logarithmic Application
If a streptococcus bacterium weighs 5.0 x 10-16 pounds, at what time will it weigh 100 pounds? Explain your mathematical reasoning.

5.0 x 10-16 = 0.0000000000000005

Hint: (weight of one)time=total weight

If 1/2 is half of 1, what is 1/2 of 2,3, and 4?

The width of a rectangle is half as long as the length. the rectangle has an area of 18 square feet. what are the length and width of the rectangle?

The table below shows the approximate masses of a dust particle and a grain of pollen. dust particle 0.000000778 g grain of pollen 0.00000000155 g the mass of a dust particle can be estimated and written in the form a × 10^b, where a = 8 and b = the mass of a grain of pollen can be estimated and written in the form a × 10^b, where a = 2 and b = based on the estimates, the mass of a dust particle is approximately blank times larger than the mass of a grain of pollen.
