Week 1: 80

Week 2: 160

Week 3: 320

Week 4: 640

Week 5: 1280

Step-by-step explanation:

Week 5 there are 1280 infected trees, the infection numbers double weekly. Divide week 5 (1280) by 2 and you find week 4 (640) divide that by 2 and you find week 3 (320) divide that by 2 and you find week 2 (160) divide that by 2 and you find the first week (80)
