Payton Stanley · Answer 1

10,240

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the population is multiplied by 4, so after 5 years, the population is 4^5 times the original number:

10 * 4^5 = 10*1024 = 10,240

There will be 10,240 rabbits after 5 years.

Ruth Burgess · Answer 2

20+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrupled means times 4. If the population went up by 4 every year for 5 years, that would be 20. And 20 added to your original number (10) is 30.
