Answers

  1. Answer:
    I think it’s A). 2,048
    Step-by-step explanation:
    I did the problem.
    4 * 2 = 8 2nd year
    8 * 2 = 16 3rd year
    16 * 2 = 32 4th year
    32 * 2 = 64 5th year
    64 * 2 = 128 6th year
    128 * 2 = 256 7th year
    256 * 2 = 516 8th year
    516 * 2 = 1024 9th year
    1024 * 2 = 2048 10th year
    If 2048 isn’t correct, than the answer is B?. 1,024
