The bacteria took 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill the initial
bottle. Explain how it only took 10 minutes to fill 3
additional empty bottles.

if i can be brainliest that would be great

Bacteria growth occurs exponentially; bacteria divides into 2 every t minutes (similar to the penny doubling every day story). If one gets filled, and the contents divides once, there will be enough for 2 bottles; when these two are ready to divide, there will be enough for 4. This growth process begins very slowly - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32; but it soon speeds up greatly, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048.
