A tree DOUBLES in height each year until it reached its maximum height over the course of 10 years. How many years did it take for the tree to reach HALF its maximum height?

9 years

the tree doubles in height

we can make a model

1 x 2 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

16 x 2 = 32

32 x 2 = 64

64 x 2 = 128

128 x 2 = 256

256 x 2 = 512

512 x 2 = 1024

Let's say 1024 is the maximum height

half the maximum height is 1024 x 0.5 = 512 so it will take 9 years because it reached 512 on the 9th year
