@bigmanacademicservices: GED Math Challenge — exponential growth problems appear often on the exam. Answer: C) 5,400 Explanation: The population triples every 4 hours. In 12 hours, there are 3 tripling periods (12 ÷ 4 = 3). 200 × 3³ = 200 × 27 = 5,400 bacteria ❌ Common mistakes: · Multiplying instead of using exponents (200 × 3 × 3 = 1,800 → incorrect) · Miscounting the number of tripling periods 📚 We make GED math make sense. 💪 Need help with your GED?
