Answer:

26244 rabbits

Explanation:

Initial population is 12 rabbits

After first month it will be (12 · 3)

After second month it will be (12 · 3) · 3 = 12 · 3²

After third month it will be ((12 · 3) · 3) · 3 = 12 · 3³

............................................................................

After seventh month it will be 12 · 3⁷ = 12 · 2187 = 26244 rabbits.

God with you!!!

Answer:

There will be 252 rabbits population after 7 months.

Explanation:

A population of rabbits reproduces at an alarming rate of tripling each month. The number of rabbits will there be after 7 months if the beginning

Population is only 12 rabbits is as:

tripling indicates population of rabbits reproduces three each month

so for 7 months, 12 rabbits reproduced in 7 months thrice

= 12 x 3 x 7

= 36 x 7

= 252

Hence, after seven months 12 rabbits population reproduce thrice in 7 months is 252 rabbits population.
