    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
