The total number of rabbits in 5 months are 1000

How many are there in 5 months

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Start = 2 rabbits

Each pair = 4 babies per month

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Month 1 = 2

Month 2 = 2 * 4 + 2 = 8

Month 3 = 8 * 4 + 8 = 40

Month 4 = 40 * 4 + 40 = 200

Month 5 = 200 * 4 + 200 = 1000

Hence, there are 1000 in 5 months
