In a appropriate environment, guppies reproduce at an astounding rate. a population of reproducing guppies quadruples every month. how many guppies will there be after 6 months if the beginning population is only 6 guppies?

a)24,576
b)144
c)46,656
d)1,296

! i don't understand!

a)24,576

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A population of reproducing guppies quadruples every month.

The population of guppies in the beginning = 6

In First month, the population of guppies =

In Second month, the population of guppies =

Continue like this,

In 6 months, the population of guppies =

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36

step-by-step explanation:

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)
