Answer:
The correct option is B) 4800 square miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
It is given that the fire covered 300 square miles in 3 days ago. And it continues to grow at the same rate.
Therefore, today it covers the twice of area it covers on yesterday.
The area covers by fire 2×300=600 square miles
Now the area covers after 3 days from today will be:
2×2×300 = 2×600 = 1200 square miles
The area covers after 3×2=6 days from today is:
2×2×2×300 = 2400 square miles
The area covers after 3×3=9 days from today is:
2×2×2×2×300 = 4800 square miles
Hence, the correct option is B) 4800 square miles.
