Question

t = hours imes log_{3}(20) Using a calculator, log_{3}(20) is approximately 2.7268. So, t approx hours imes 2.7268. Now, we know that it took 6 hours for the population to triple. Let's plug that in: t approx 6 imes 2.7268. t approx 16.361 Rounded to the nearest hour, it will take approximately 16 hours for the population to reach 20 times its original size.

Name: t hours times log320 using a calculator log320 is approximately 27268 so t approx hours times 27268 now we know that it took 6 hours for the population to triple lets plug that in t approx 42072

          t = hours 	imes log_{3}(20) 

Using a calculator, log_{3}(20) is approximately 2.7268. So, t approx hours 	imes 2.7268. 

Now, we know that it took 6 hours for the population to triple. Let's plug that in: t approx 6 	imes 2.7268. 

t approx 16.361 

Rounded to the nearest hour, it will take approximately 16 hours for the population to reach 20 times its original size.
