What is a word problem?
A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.
For the given situation,
Number of bacteria placed in petri dish = 490
Time required for bacteria to double = 29 hours
Number of bacteria after 8 hours is
⇒ [tex]490(2)^{\frac{8}{29} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]490(2)^{0.2758}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]490(1.2107)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]593.25149[/tex]
⇒ [tex]593[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the number of bacteria after 8 hours is 593.
