An amoeba propagates by simple division; each split takes three minutes to complete. When such an amoeba is put into a glass container with a nutrient fluid, the container is full of amoebas in one hour.
How long would it take for the container to be filled if we start with not one amoeba, but two?
well, it takes three minutes for one to split into two, and since that is what we start with for our second problem, it should take 57 minutes, because we subtracct the amount of time needed to get from 1-2 amoebas. and now, for another question. what does a glass full of amoebas look like?
easy
