About 16 weeks ago, there were 59 mold spores found in a garden. After a few weeks of observation, it is determined that the number of mold spores in the garden is tripling every 8 weeks. The number of mold spores, M, at any given time in the garden is equal to the product of the initial amount of spores, I, and 3 to the power of n, where n is the number of times the amount of mold spores has tripled.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

54.864 meters
