There are 2 rabbits and every month it triples, meaning you multiply by 3.

So, how many rabbits are there after 3 months.

It is pretty straight forward. What we wan to do is just multiply by 3 three times.

So first time: 2*3=6

Second time: 6*3=18

Third time for answer: 18*3=54

Answer: After 3 months, there is a total population of 54 rabbits.
