There is a population of 17 bacteria in a colony. If the number of bacteria doubles every 229 hours, what will the population be 458 hours from now?

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Divide the asked hours by hours need to double

Step 2: Double the initial number of the population as per the result from step 1.

First divide 458 by 229, you will get 2

Now you double the initial population number twice

so 17 * 2 = 34 and again 34 * 2 = 68

i think c. but don't trust it.
