Question

Suppose 50 rabbits are on Groff Farm… DOUBLING every year…

How many rabbits after 5 years?
How many rabbits after 10 years?

Answer 1

I would say after 5 years there would be 250 and after 10 years 500 let me know if I’m wrong. In my opinion the question didn’t specify very good exactly what it wants. I hope you get the right answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

After the first year, the number of rabbits will double from 50 to 100.

After the second year, the number of rabbits will double again from 100 to 200.

This doubling process will continue for a total of 5 years, so after 5 years, the number of rabbits will be:

Number of rabbits after 5 years = 50 x 2^5 = 50 x 32 = 1600

Therefore, there will be 1600 rabbits on Groff Farm after 5 years.

Similarly, after 10 years, the number of rabbits will double 10 times:

Number of rabbits after 10 years = 50 x 2^10 = 50 x 1024 = 51200

Therefore, there will be 51,200 rabbits on Groff Farm after 10 years.
