A certain population of bacteria is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present in a culture that provides plentiful food and space. Initially, there are 250 bacteria, and after 7 hours, 800 bacteria are observed in the culture. Determine the amount of time it will take for the bacteria to increase to 2500
