Answer:

57

Explanation:

In terms of weeks, the exponential equation for population can be written as ...

P(t) = P(0)·2^(t/6) . . . . . . the multiplier is 2 every 6 weeks

For the given initial population, P(0) = 9, we have ...

P(t) = 9·2^(t/6)

__

For t = 112 days, we need to convert to weeks.

t = (112 days)/(7 days/week) = 16 weeks

Then ...

P(16) = 9·2^(16/6) ≈ 57.146

The population in 112 days is about 57 rabbits.
