Asked by Ellie

The Fibonacci sequence was first discovered during a study of rabbits. If newborn rabbits become adults in one month, each pair of adult rabbits produces one pair each month, and no rabbits die, then how many pairs of rabbits would be produced after seven months? How many after twelve months?

Thanks!

so, did you actually read about the Fibonacci sequence?
Answered by Ellie
@steve yes, I did. I am confused on how to complete this problem.

The F.S. tells you how many pairs there will be after n months. The sequence is

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

So, what is the 7th term? the 12th?

btw,
The Fibonacci sequence was first NOT discovered during a study of rabbits.
