Question

A population of rabbits doubles evey 4 months. if the population starts out with 8 rabbits how many rabbits will there be in 1 year

Answer 1

Well. You start with two rabbits, and it triples every month, so:

0 months: 2 rabbits.
1 month: 2*3 = 6 rabbits.
2 months: 6*3 = 18 rabbits.
3 months: 18*3 = 54 rabbits.
