the tree frog population in your backyard doubles every two weeks there are currently 10 frogs in your backyard assuming there are 4 weeks in a month how many tree frogs will there be in 3 months?

Answer 1

Since the tree frog population doubles every two weeks, we can calculate how many times the population will double in three months (4 weeks/month x 3 months = 12 weeks).

In 12 weeks, the population will double 6 times (12 weeks ÷ 2 weeks/doubling = 6 doublings).

Starting with 10 tree frogs, the population will be:

Week 1: 10 x 2 = 20
Week 2: 20 x 2 = 40
Week 3: 40 x 2 = 80
Week 4: 80 x 2 = 160
Week 5: 160 x 2 = 320
Week 6: 320 x 2 = 640

Therefore, in 3 months there will be 640 tree frogs in your backyard.
