Answer:

640 Bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how many times the population will double. Divide the number of minutes by how long it takes for the population to double.

812÷203=4

The population will double 4 times.

Now figure out what the population will be after it doubles 4 times. Multiply the population by 2 a total of 4 times.

402222=640

That calculation could also be written with exponents:

4024=640

After 812 minutes, the population will be 640 bacteria.
