Answer:

2 years

Explanation:

Use ' Rule 70' to solve this question;

The rule of 70 is used to estimate the number of years it will take an investment or one's money to double. You can apply this with population growth in this case as well;

Rule 70;

Number of years to double = 70/ annual percentage growth rate

Percentage growth rate for whitetail deer= 0.35 = 35%

= 70/35 = 2

Therefore it takes 2 years.
