How many c. perfringens bacteria would there be in the wound

Clostridium perfringens causes gas gangrene and has a very rapid generation time of only nine minutes. Suppose a patient had a wound with a single contaminating Clostridium perfringens bacillus. How many C. perfringens bacteria would there be in the wound after just 9 hours of multiplying. (since each generation time or doubling time is 9 minutes long and there are 60 minutes in an hour, 9 hours would contain 60 divisions or doublings)
