Question

if a city with a population of 500,000 doubles in size every 64 years, what will the population be 256 years from now?

Answer 1

2,000,000 or 2,000 something 2 hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

8,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 256 divided by 64 is 4, meaning 64 goes into 256 4 times. If 500,000 is being doubled every 64, it means that in 256 years, the population will have been doubled 4 times.

Meaning? Well...

500,000 x 2 = 1,000,000 = 64yrs

1,000,000 x 2 = 2,000,000 = 128yrs

2,000,000 x 2 = 4,000,000 = 192yrs

4,000,000 x 2 = 8,000,000 = 256yrs

This is 4 times.

so every time it's doubled, it means the sum of that number times 2.
