A rabbit population doubles every month. If the population of rabbits is 32 at the end of the firs month, how many rabbits will there be after eight months? (2 points)

Answer 1

If the rabbit population doubles every month and is 32 at the end of the first month, we can find the population after eight months by continuing to double the population each month.

Starting at the end of the first month:

• Month 1: 32 rabbits
• Month 2: 32 * 2 = 64 rabbits
• Month 3: 64 * 2 = 128 rabbits
• Month 4: 128 * 2 = 256 rabbits
• Month 5: 256 * 2 = 512 rabbits
• Month 6: 512 * 2 = 1024 rabbits
• Month 7: 1024 * 2 = 2048 rabbits
• Month 8: 2048 * 2 = 4096 rabbits

Thus, after eight months, there will be 4096 rabbits.
