It is not only grammatically wrong, but the writing and spelling need a lot of attention.
The number of fish in the lake has doubled.
The number of fish in the lake has halved.
1. Begin a sentence with a capital letter.
2. End a sentence with a full stop.
3. Contrary to popular belief, TXT English is not cool.
Other words:
tripled = 3X
increased by a multiple of four = 4X
has seen an increase of 300% = 4X
has decreased by half
has decreased by a third (two thirds left)
has decreased to a third of what it was before (one third left)
