It takes 16 minutes for a certain bacteria population to double. if there are 6,140,276 bacteria in this population at 9: 15 am what is the best estimate in millions of the number of bacteria at 9: 47 am on the same day

The answer to your question is: 24 561 104 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

every 16 minutes bacteria population double

There are 6140276 bacteria at 9:15 AM

estimate bacteria at 9:47

First calculate the minutes : 47 - 15 = 32 minutes

                                               and 32 / 16 = 2

then 2 times the bacteria population double

So,

          first time = 6140276 x 2 = 1 2280552 bacteria

          second time = 1 2280552 x 2 = 24561104 bacteria

60 for the first and 130 for the second
