Bacteria in a bottle Parable. Use the bacteria parable presented in the text.

How many bacteria are in the bottle at 11:50? What fraction of the bottle is full at that time?

The answer for this is 250 bacteria; 1/2024 full

How many bacteria are in the bottle at 11:15? What fraction of the bottle is full at the time?

I do not have the solution to this. My math 140 book does not have even answers just odd.

Knee Deep in Bacteria. Total surface area of Earth is about 5.1 * 1014 m2. Assume that the bacteria continued their doublings (as described in the text) for a total of 2 hours, at which point they were distributed uniformly over Earth's surface. How deep would the bacteria layer be? Would it be knee-deep, more than knee-deep or less than knee-deep?
