Question

Daisy purchased a rabbit couple to keep as pets. Perhaps Daisy got more than she bargained for! If the population of rabbits doubles every 3 months, how many rabbits will Daisy have at the end of 3 years? (Hints: Remember that your starting number is 2. The exponent is determined by the number of periods of doubling. Use your calculator.)

a. 2048
b. 512
c. 256
d. 8192

Answer 1

So in getting the answer to this question you need to consider the following factors. The number of rabbits is at first 2, the it would be double in 3 months, the duration will be for 3 years so it means that the number that the rabbit to double is 12 right? So in my calculation the best answer would be D. 8192
