suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is 70,000 bacteria per milliliter. if the concentration triples in 4 days, how long will it take for the concentration to reach 112,000 bacteria per milliliter?

Hi this guy,
This is a you tube clip that I found for you.
don't worry about part c, especially if you haven't done any calculus yet.
but part d is almost the same as your questions.
Go through it and try to understand.

I did your question and got 41.07 hours. I think that's about 41 hours and 4 minutes.
See if you can work it out and if you can't post again to get some more help.

Happy calculations
Melody.

[input]70000*3^(x/4)=112000[/input]
x=1.7112629599857806 days = 41.07 hours
