Question
The number of bacteria in a refrigerated food product is given by \( N(T) = 24T^2 - 109T + 82, \quad 4 < T < 34 \) where \( T \) is the temperature of the food.

When the food is removed from the refrigerator, the temperature is given by:
\[ T(t) = 4t + 1.5, \]
where \( t \) is the time in hours.

### Tasks
1. Find the composite function \(N(T(t))\):
   \[ N(T(t)) = \]

2. Find the time when the bacteria count reaches 11040. Give your answer accurate to at least 2 decimal places.
   \[ \text{Time Needed} =  \] hours
