What does Doubled really mean?

Doubled means to have twice as much as what you had before. Let's imagine you have a piece of chocolate. If you double it, you will now have two pieces of chocolate. It's like magic - your one little piece of chocolate has become two pieces without you having to go and get more.

Now, let's think about this with numbers. Imagine you have 5 marbles. If you double the number of marbles, you will have two sets of 5 marbles each, which is 10 marbles total. So, when we say something is doubled, we mean that it has been multiplied by two or increased by 100%. It's like taking something and making it twice as big or twice as much.

But wait, there's more! Doubled can also mean having two of something. For example, if you have two cats and your friend also has two cats, then together you have a doubled number of cats (four cats in total). So, doubled can refer to multiplying something by two or simply having two of something.

Think of it like this: doubling is like having a twin brother or sister, where there is another person just like you or another object just like the one you had before. It's a way of increasing or replicating something by making it twice as big or having two of them.

So, when we talk about something being doubled, we mean that it has been multiplied by two or that we now have two of them. It's a way of making things grow or multiply, just like when plants double in size as they grow or when a family doubles in size when twins are born.
