A batch reactor is inoculated with $1 \:g/L$ biomass. Under these conditions, cells exhibit a lag phase of $30$ min. If the specific growth rate in the log phase is $0.00417\;min^{-1}$, the time taken for the biomass to increase to $8 \:g/L$ is ________________ min (round off to $2$ decimal places).
