A number of bacteria are placed in a glass. One second later, each bacteria divides two and so on. After one minute the glass is full. When was the glass half empty????

Pls tell fast

Dear student
A number of bacteria are placed in a glass. One second later, each bacteria divides two and so on. After one minute the glass is full.
This implies,
After every second, the number of bacteria in the glass doubles.
Since by the end of 1 minute the glass is full, the previous second, it would be half the number.
Therefore, after the 59th second, the glass would be half empty.
Regards
