Final answer:

Starting with 2 rabbits and each pair having 6 babies per month, after 12 months, there will be 24,576 rabbits.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of rabbits after 12 months, we can use the information given:

  • Start with 2 rabbits.
  • Each pair has 6 babies per month.

First, let's calculate how many pairs of rabbits there will be after each month:

  1. Month 1: 2 pairs (original pair + 1 pair of babies)
  2. Month 2: 4 pairs (2 pairs give birth to 2 more pairs)
  3. Month 3: 8 pairs
  4. Month 4: 16 pairs
  5. Month 5: 32 pairs
  6. Month 6: 64 pairs
  7. Month 7: 128 pairs
  8. Month 8: 256 pairs
  9. Month 9: 512 pairs
  10. Month 10: 1024 pairs
  11. Month 11: 2048 pairs
  12. Month 12: 4096 pairs (final count after 12 months)

Since each pair of rabbits has 6 babies per month, we can multiply the number of pairs by 6 to find the total number of rabbits after each month:

  • Month 1: 12 rabbits
  • Month 2: 24 rabbits
  • Month 3: 48 rabbits
  • Month 4: 96 rabbits
  • Month 5: 192 rabbits
  • Month 6: 384 rabbits
  • Month 7: 768 rabbits
  • Month 8: 1536 rabbits
  • Month 9: 3072 rabbits
  • Month 10: 6144 rabbits
  • Month 11: 12288 rabbits
  • Month 12: 24576 rabbits (final count after 12 months)

They will have 72 babies. This is because to make a pair, you need 2 rabbits. So all you have to do is multiply 12 by 6, and you’ll get 72
