Answer:

937,381

Explanation:

The problem statement explains the exponential formula for the population. It is written in terms of doubling time. You are told what the variables are, and you are given their values. All you need to do is substitute them into the formula and do the arithmetic.

__


P_0=93000\\t=10\\d=3\\\\P_t=93\;\!000(2^{(10)/(3)})\approx93\;\!000*10.7093684\\\\P_t\approx937\:\!381

The population of the culture after 10 hours is 937,381.
