Can someone help me create an equation out of this?

A certain type of bacterial cell divides into two cells every hour. So, in a colony of these cells, the population doubles every hour.

Thanks in advance.

You will need to set up an equation for number N in terms of time t. Where t is measured in hours
You don't have to use the letters. You could just use N and h but it would tie in better with usual equations if you use N and t
It's not difficult. Give it a shot.
