Question

a zombie apocalypse begins when 4 zombies break free from a secret government lab. Each zombie can infect (and thus zombify) 2 people per day on average. write an equation to represent the number of zombies that would exist after d days,

The population of texas in 2016 is 6,641,480. Find the number of days it would take to infect the entire state if this happened in texas. SHOW YOUR WORK.

Answer 1

2x*4=6,641,480
divide both sides by 4
2x= 1660370
divide both sides by 2
x= 830,185 days for the entire day to get infected :) 
x= days
2= people a day infected 
*4= number of zombies
6,641,480= number of people in texas
 Hope this helped you have an amazing rest of the day!!!

Answer 2

the number of days it would take for it to effect the entire state would be 10 days.
