How many colonies do you expect to find next day after


Question - You have bacteria at a concentration of 2 x 103 CFU/mL (in real ife - you don't know this, but we are just working on math skills here).  You transfer 1 mL of this sample into 9 mL of water and then spread 1 mL on a plate of agar. How many colonies do you expect to find the next day after incubation at 370C? Can you count these colonies? Can you use this plate for determining concentration?
