In a growth period, a population of flies triples every week. of the original population had 3 flies, how big is the population after 4 weeks?

Hey, the anwer is 243.

Step-by-step explanation:

The math equation for this is:

ORIGINAL POPULATION x

This is because the original population will triplicate 4 times.

Original population: 3

After first week: 9

After second week: 27

After third week: 81

After fourth week: 243

Is the same that multiplying 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

45

step-by-step explanation:

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
