A strand of bacteria has a doubling time of 15 minutes. If the population starts with 10 organisms, how long would it take for the population to grow to 700 organisms?

between 1hr 30 and 1hr 45

Step-by-step explanation:

10*2=20                                 15

20*2=40                                 30

40*2=80                                 45

80*2=160                                 60

160*2=320                                 1hr 15

320*2=640                                 1hr 30
