In a jar that has 50 ants, the number of ants in the jar doubles each hour. How many ants will be in the jar after 5 hours? Let's be accurate as possible.
After first hour, 50 * 2 = 100 ants. After the second hour, 100 * 2 = 200 ants. After the third hour, 200 * 2 = 400 ants. After the fourth hour, 400 * 2 = 800 ants. After the fifth hour, 800 * 2 = 1600 ants.
The answer: 1600.
