  1. 60min = 1 hour

    60 divided by 6 = 10

    so you will have 10 bacteria


  2. 60!!!   You take your one bacterium and times it by six then take that number times the number of  six minute segments of six there are in one hour which is ten and you take ten times six and you get sixty.

  3. there are 60 mins in an hour, so it will be like this:

    1 X 2 = 2 2X2=4 4 X 2=8 ...(repeat sequence).. 512 X 2 = 1024

    So my answer's 1024

  4. It's easy! 60 min. in an hour... div. by 10 = 6. So they mult. six times. so... 1,2,4,8,16,32 answer 32 =D

    P.S 10 pointes buster >=D

  5. 60/6

    10 bacteria

  6. 1024

  7. here i'll help:

    you have to learn

    take 60 divided by 6=x

    and then take x times 2.

    whats the answer?

  8. 60 divided by 6 equals 10 times 1 equals 10!

    My answer is 10

  9. here's how you do this....

    take 1 hour which is 60 mins. then divide by 6 mins = 10   the number of times the bacteria will double.

    take 1 and double it= 2 then keep doubling it until you have doubled it 10 times.

  10. It would double 10 times in 1 hour.

    So there would be 1,024 bacteria.

  11. 60/6= 10

    multiplys 10 times e.g. 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512

    = 512

  12. 60 divided by 6=10   it doubles 10 times

    2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024

    Answer=1024
