Answer:

3000.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every 18 min, the colony grows 1000, so to make it easy, the way i do it is that i find out how much  it grows per min

1000 / 18 = 55.56

Then, to find out how big it will be in 54 min, we just multiply

55.56 x 54 = 3000.24

So that will be the size of the colony in 54 min. I hope this helps :)
