Answer: Look at explanation for answer...

Step-by-step explanation:

This could be turned into a simple proportion if you want to do it that way :)

1.) First, use the proportion bacteria over time.

2.) It should set up to look like this:  2,600        X

                                                           ---------- = ---------

                                                               7             15

3.) You then do your math (2,600 * 15) (39,000 / 7)

Answer: Your answer then comes out to be: (rounded) 5,571 bacteria

Answer:

the answer is 3,512.  I just took the test and got the answer below me wrong.  So, this should be what you are looking for.
