Well, you would have to multiply 8 by whatever factorial of 3, in this case 4 for the number of weeks The equation is 8 x 3^4 which equals 648
My only thing is that they only triple in SIZE, and not multiply (as in make more of themselves) so technically speaking, there would still be 8 bacteria, just much bigger
To be divisible by 6, an even number must also be divisible by 3. Two of every three even numbers are <em>not</em> divisible by 3, so are not divisible by 6.
