Compared to Bettina's building, Colin's apartment building has twice as many floors, but half as many apartments on each floor.
Compared to Colin's building, Dara's apartment building has twice as many floors, and three times as many apartments on each floor.
Use this information to complete the following table. How does the total number of apartments change from one row to the next?
