A biologist is studying a certain type of algae. She starts with only 1 algae bloom and observes that the number of algae blooms triples every hour. Which equation can be used to find the number of hours, h, it will take for the population to reach 6,561 algae blooms?

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
