Answer:

The amount of bacteria that are there at the end of 55 hours is 2310231000

Explanation:

From the description in the question, the bacteria's population size doubles per hour;

Within 1 hour = 21002100 × 2 = 42004200

Thus

After 1 hr ⇒ 42004200

55 hrs ⇒ ?

? = 55 × 42004200 = 2310231000

The amount of bacteria that are there at the end of 55 hours is 2310231000
