An investment of $1 is put in an account. Every 7 years, the money doubles. No additional money was added to the account. Would the expression 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 correctly represent how much was in the investment account after 42 years? Explain.
since 42 ÷ 7 = [ ] the account doubled [ ] times. The product doubles [ ] times in the expression.

Answer

No, the expression 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 does not correctly represent how much was in the investment account after 42 years. The account doubles every 7 years, so in 42 years, it doubles 42 ÷ 7 = 6 times. The expression should have 6 twos, not 7.

  1. since 42 ÷ 7 = 6
  2. the account doubled 6 times.
  3. The product doubles 7 times in the expression.
