A population of beetles doubles approximately every three years. Starting with 25 beetles, about how many beetles would you expect to have in 25 years without intervention?

25 divided by 3 is 8.3333333 then multiplied by 25 beetles. You get 208.333333 but no such thing as 0.33333 of a beetle so just round to 208 beetles.
