Answer:112 years, you see a pattern of multiplying by 2, take 224 and divide it by 2 and you get 112

Karli Giles · Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well seeing as each year the amount of Trees Doubled (7+7=14 and 14+14=28)

We can Infer that each year afterwards it will do so.

So 1 year from now 28+28 = 56

2 years from now 56 + 56 = 112

And finally at 3 years 112+112 we arrive at our answer 224

Answer: So it would take 3 years to get to get to 224
