Then they recalled a word problem: Sebuah amoeba membelah diri menjadi dua setiap 20 menit. Jika mula-mula ada 4 amoeba, berapa banyak setelah 2 jam? (“An amoeba splits into two every 20 minutes. Initially there are 4 amoeba, how many after 2 hours?”)
From Rina’s memory, the first problem was: ( 2^3 \times 2^5 ). “That’s ( 2^{3+5} = 2^8 = 256 ),” Rina said quickly. “Too easy. The next one must be harder.” matematika kelas 9 halaman 55
( 4 \times 64 = 256 ) amoeba.
