Bacteria multiply by cell division, i.e. they can reproduce from one organism. How many bacteria you would have depends on a large number of factors, the main one being the time period! Other factors include type of bacteria and temperature.

How many bacteria would I have in 12 hours if they divide into two every 20 minutes?

If bacteria divide every 20 minutes, there are 3 divisions in one hour (60 minutes). In 12 hours, there are 12 x 3 = 36 divisions. If you start with one bacterium, the number of bacteria after 36 divisions would be 2^36, which equals 68,719,476,736. Hence, you would have approximately 68.7 billion bacteria after 12 hours.
