If a series of numbers doubles each time, what will the value be after two increments starting at 0.18?

  1. 0.72

  2. 0.36

  3. 1.44

  4. 1.08

The correct answer is: 1.44

To determine the value after two increments when starting at 0.18 and doubling each time, you perform the following calculations: 1. Start with the initial number, which is 0.18. 2. For the first increment, you double this number: 0.18 × 2 = 0.36. 3. For the second increment, you take the result from the first increment and double it again: 0.36 × 2 = 0.72. However, it appears there may have been an oversight in considering the increments or in the final multiplication. The correct resulting value after two doubling increments is 0.72, not 1.44 or 1.08. Thus, the correct process should result in 0.72, confirming that the increment approach accurately reflects the doubling process. Therefore, you might want to reevaluate the correct answer based on the given choices.
