II. Direction: Read the problem below and answer the questions that follow.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that about 16 million adolescent girls
between 15 and 19 years of age give birth each year. Knowing the adverse effects of
adolescent childbearing on the health of the mothers as well as their infants, a group of
students from San Isidro National High School volunteered to help the government in its
campaign for the prevention of early pregnancy by giving lectures to 7 barangays about
the WHO Guidelines on teenage pregnancy. The group started in Barangay 1 and 2
girls attended the lecture. Girls from other barangays heard about it, so 4 girls attended
from Barangay 2, 8 from Barangay 3, and so on.

A. Make a table representing the number of adolescent girls who attended the
lecture from Barangay 1 to Barangay 7 assuming that the number of attendees
doubles at each barangay.
B. Identify the total number of participants for the 7 barangays.
C. Analyze the data in the table and create a formula. Use the formula to justify your
data in the table.
