Suppose a single bacterium is placed in a bottle at 11 00 am It grows and at 11 01 divides into two bacteria These two bacteria each grow and at 11 02 divide into four bacteria which grow and at 11 03 divide into eight bacteria and so on Now suppose the bacteria continue to double every minute and the bottle is full at 12 00 How many bacteria are in the bottle at 11 44 What fraction of the bottle is full at that time There will be bacteria in the bottle at 11 44 Type your answer using exponential notation
