Hi bodleyev,

I am getting a bit unsure about something with compound interest. Requesting your insights based on the solution you provided.

For any compound interest rate (unknown) if we know that the amount doubles in lets say 9 years, can we say that it will be 4x in 18 years and 8x in 36 years.?

I see the gap is getting larger with the years, meaning the first doubling occured just in a 9 year gap, and the next doubling happened in 18 years. Am I missing some fundamentals here? Thanks
