Question

Suppose a population of 50 crickets doubles in size every 4 months. How many crickets will there be after 5 years?

Answer 1

1 year = 12 months

5 years = 60 months

60/4 = 15

A number that doubles every 4 months would become
${2}^{15}$
as large.

50 Crickets ×
${2}^{15}$
= 32,768

= 50 Crickets × 32,768

= 1,638,400

So, your answer is B. 1,638,400 Crickets.
