The number of bacteria in a culture tt hours after it is set up is modelled by P(t)=200e0.3tP(t) = 200 e^{0.3 t}. Take ln⁡(5)=1.6094\ln(5) = 1.6094 and ln⁡(1.5)=0.4055\ln(1.5) = 0.4055. After how many hours, correct to two decimal places, is the number of bacteria increasing at 300300 bacteria per hour?
