@Help10questionsplease please let me do this one
guys i wanna do this one
Sure, go ahead.. :)
@7thGrader okay?
thank you so much!
i got this one sec
Ok so then 5x12 is 60 so divide 60 into 4
We should know: 1 year = 12 months Given: Doubles every 4 months So: 4 * 3 =12 Therefore: 1 year, there is 3 sets of 4 months. Hence: 4 * 3 = 12 Then: 2 years have 6 sets of 4 months. 3 years have 9 sets of 4 months 4 years have 12 sets of 4 months 5 years have 15 sets of 4 months Good so far?
Okay o-o
We start with a population of 50 crickets So then: 50×2n 50×215 whats 2^15? after u get that, multiply what you got from that by 50. Try it and let me see what you get. :)
wait
50 X 2^15 is 1638400 there is your answer
medal?
