    It'll take 10.6638 years to double his money.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since the invested capital is compounded continuosly we need to use the apropriate formula shown below:

    M = C*e^ (r*t)

    Where M is the final value, C is the initial value, r is the rate of interest and t is the total time elapsed. In this case we want to double our investment, since the amount invested was 2800, then we need to have a final value of 2*2800 = 5600. Applying these values to the formula:

    5600 = 2800*e^ (0.065*t)

    2800*e^ (0.065*t) = 5600

    e^ (0.065*t) = 5600/2800

    e^ (0.065*t) = 2

    ln (e^ (0.065*t)) = ln (2)

    0.065*t = ln (2)

    t = ln (2) / 0.065 = 10.6638 years

    It'll take 10.6638 years to double his money.
