Answer:

800 crickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population starts at 50 crickets and doubles every 3 months that's 100 crickets every three months.

There are 12 months in a year.

So, we have to multiply 100 by 4.

That gets us 400.

So that is 400 crickets each year.

Since it is 2 years it would be 800 crickets.

Hope this helps!

This is a Geometric Progression problem.

We can use the formula

= a1 + [tex]q^{n-1}[/tex]

= 50 x 2^(8-1)

50 is starting number

2 is doubled

8 is how many sets of 3 months in 2 years

= 50 x 2^(7)

= 50 x 128

= 6400
