Question

A researcher started tracking the number of mice in the lab.

Which of the following equations models how many mice
there will be in the lab after 10 months?

Answer 1

1536 rats will be total after 10 months

Explanation:

The number is multiplied by 2 each time, so we have to continue multiplying by 2

Month 5: 48 x 2 = 96

Month 6: 96 x 2 = 192

Month 7: 192 x 2 = 384

Month 8: 384 x 2 = 768

Month 9: 768 x 2 = 1536

Month 10: 1536
