Question

If a town with a population of 5,000 doubles in size every 11 years, what will the population be 44 years from now?

Answer 1

answer: 20,000

Because 11 divided by 44 is 4. Multiply 4 by 5,000 and you get 20,000.

Answer 2

44 divided by 11 =4 , 5000 times 2= 10,000 , 10,000 times 2 = 20,000 , 20,000 times 2 = 40,000 , 40,000 times 2 = 80,000. The answer is 80,000
