Based on the length of a certain bacterium and the measurement of the colony, the total length of the colony is 1.431 x 10².
What is the length of the colony in a straight line?
The length of the colony can be calculated as:
= Length of bacterium x length of colony
Solving gives:
= 2.7 x 10⁻² x 5.3 x 10³
= 0.027 x 5,300
= 143.1
= 1.431 x 10²
In conclusion, the total length of the colony if put in a straight line is 1.431 x 10².
