Answer:
580,000 people
Explanation:
First, find out how many times the population will double. Divide the number of years by how long it takes for the population to double.
48÷24=2
The population will double 2 times.
Now figure out what the population will be after it doubles 2 times. Multiply the population by 2 a total of 2 times.
145,00022=580,000
That calculation could also be written with exponents:
145,000 x 2^2=580,000
After 48 years, the population will be 580,000 people.
