Question 1154480: There were 20 rabbits on an island. After six months the number of rabbits had increased to 100. If the number of rabbits increased exponentially, then how many rabbits will there be at the end of one year if the rate is .268?

If the population increased 5 times in six months (5 = 100/20),


then, with the same exponential growing rate, at the end of the year (two six-months periods)

the population will be  100*5 = 500 rabbits.    ANSWER

Solved.

The solution does not require this given rate of 0.268 - it is UNNECESSARY and EXCESSIVE data.
