The population of rabbits doubles every 3 months. If there were initially 150 at the bunny farm, how many will there be after 3 years?

First you need to find how many months there are in 3 years. You multiply 3 by 12 to find out how many months there are(there are 12 months in a year) 3*12 = 36. Next you need to find out how many times the population doubles. You can do this by dividing the total amount of months by 3(36/3=12). You can then multiply the starting population by 2 to the amount of times you double (150*(
2^(12))). Giving you an answer of 49152.
