The count of bacteria in a culture is 10 and doubles every 20 minutes. Find the population size after 11 hours. Can someone explain how to solve this?

Since you asked how to solve this, I will put the answer at the bottom.

You might not think the same way as I but I think in steps.

The bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, 60/20 = 3.

If the bacteria grow for eleven hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 11 hours = 33 times.

(orginial size)*2^number of divisions

10*
