Question

Unit 2 Exam

Rabbit populations can double every 30
days. If there are 26 rabbits on a farm,
how many rabbits will be on the farm
after 240 days?
First, complete the equation:
Future Amount = 26(1+1)

Answer 1

6,656 rabbits

Explanation:

Population of rabbits = 26

Population doubles every 30 days

how many rabbits will be on the farm after 240 days?

t = 240 days / 30 days

= 8

Future Amount = 26(2)^t

=26(2)^8

= 26(256)

= 6,656

Therefore, the population of rabbits on the farm after 240 days is 6,656
