Si partimos de cuatro plantas similares, también duplicarán su tamaño cada 10 días. Sin embargo, debido a que comenzamos con cuatro plantas en lugar de una, es como si estuviéramos “adelante” por dos períodos de duplicación (ya que (2^2 = 4)). Por lo tanto, cuatro plantas cubrirán todo el lago en (300 - 2 x 10 = 280) días. Así, cuatro plantas similares tardarán 280 días en cubrir todo el lago.
