216

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure there is a simpler way to do this but this is how I did it.

First divide 18 by 6 because it triples every 6 hours.

18/6=3

This means it will triple three times

Then triple the value three times

#1. 8x3=24

#2. 24x3=72

#3. 72x3=216

In 18 hours the virus will infect 216 people.
