How many hours would it take for a single prokaryote, dividing every 20 minutes by binary fission in a favorable environment, to produce 512 of its kind?

Explanation:

in every 20 minutes the prokaryote divides to produce one of itself .

Mathematically,

20 mins:1 of its kind

x mins :512 of its kind

Where x is the amount of time (in minutes) needed by the prokaryote to produce 512 of its kind.

This implies that,

By cross multiplying we obtain,

We now convert the time in minutes into hours.

Knowing very well that 60 minutes equals an hour, to convert 10240 minutes to hour we divide by 60.

This implies that,

hèllo, sorry i really need some more points so if you need this qustion answered than retype it

i don't understand. explain it clearly
