45 rabbits in 9 cells

45 - 9 = 36
36 - 8 = 28
28 - 7 = 21
21 - 6 = 15
15 - 5 = 10
10 - 4 = 6
6 - 3 = 3
3 - 2 = 1
1 - 1 = 0

Cell 1 can have 9 rabbits
Cell 2 can have 8 rabbits
Cell 3 can have 7 rabbits
Cell 4 can have 6 rabbits
Cell 5 can have 5 rabbits
Cell 6 can have 4 rabbits
Cell 7 can have 3 rabbits
Cell 8 can have 2 rabbits
Cell 9 can have 1 rabbits
