David works at a science lab that conducts experiments on bacteria
David works at a science lab that conducts experiments on bacteria. The population of the bacteria multiplies at a constant rate, and his job is to notate the population of a certain group of bacteria each hour. At 1 p.m. on a certain day, he noted that the population was 2,500 and then he left the lab. He returned in time to take a reading at 4 p.m., by which point the population had grown to 160,000. Now he has to fill in the missing data for 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. What was the population at 3 p.m.?
