6) The population of rats doubles every 8 months. If there were 23 rats to start how many would there be after 32 months?

368 rats

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find how many times the population doubles. 32/8 = 4, so the population doubles 4 times.

So, the number of rats = 23 * (2^4) = 368

Or, instead of using exponents, you can double the population four times separately.

23 * 2 = 46

46 * 2 = 92

92 * 2 = 184

184 * 2 = 368 rats

P.S. Please give me brainliest, I need it to rank up.
