Question

Suppose a population has a doubling time of 25 years. By what factor will it grow in 25 years? 50 years? In 100 years?

Answer 1

2,4, and 8.

Explanation:

If the population has a doubling time of 25 years, that means that in 25 years the population will double. So for 25 years, the factor will be 2. For 50 years, the factor would be 2x2, which is 4. For 100 years, it is 4x2 which is a scale factor of 8.
