It given that the rate at which some bacteria multiply is proportional to the instantaneous number presents. If the original number of bacteria doubles in two hours, in how many hours will it be five times?

The number of square units, A, in the area covered by a bacteria culture is increasing at a rate of 20% every 7 days. If the bacteria culture initially covers an area of 10 square centimeters, which equation can be used to find the number of square units in the area covered by the bacteria culture after d days?

The population of a certain is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people presently living in the country. If after two years the population has doubled, and after three years the population is 20,000 estimates the number of people initially living in the country.

A and B are two separate reservoirs of water. Capacity of reservoir A is double the capacity of reservoir Bdot Both the reservoirs are filled completely with water, their inlets are closed and then the water is released simultaneously from both the reservoirs. The rate of flow of water out of each reservoir at any instant of time is proportional to the quantity of water in the reservoir at the time. One hour after the water is released, the quantity of water is reservoir A is 1 1/2 times the quantity of water in reservoir Bdot After how many hours do both the reservoirs have the same quantity of water?
