Organism A's population doubles every day. After 5 days, the population stops growing and a virus cuts it in half every day for 3 days.
Organism B's population grows at the same rate but is not infected with the virus. After 8 days, how much larger is organism B's population than organism A's population? Answer the questions to find out.
5. Use your answers to questions 3 and 4 to write an expression for how many times greater organism B's population is than organism A's population after 8 days.
Simplify your expression, then write it as a number that is not in exponential form. Show your process. (2 points)
