Here's a riddle guys

Algae grows on a lake and doubles in size every day. After 48 days it covers the entire lake. How many days did it take for it to cover just half the lake?

If it doubles in size every day, it would take longer to cover half the lake, but less time to cover the rest of it. So is the answer 47?
