To calculate each month's number of rabbits:
1. Take the prior month's total.
2. Add 12 times the number of females of age to have kits.

Each month, 6 more females come of age. In month 8, there are 13 females able to have kits.



Answer :

To calculate the number of rabbits for each month, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the starting values:
- For month 8: There are already 302 rabbits and 13 females that are able to have kits.
- Each month, 6 additional females come of age to have kits.
- Each female produces 12 kits.

2. Calculate the number of rabbits for month 9:
- In month 9, the number of females of age increases by 6, making it [tex]\( 13 + 6 = 19 \)[/tex] females.
- The number of new rabbits produced is [tex]\( 19 \times 12 = 228 \)[/tex].
- The total number of rabbits in month 9 is [tex]\( 302 + 228 = 530 \)[/tex].

3. Calculate the number of rabbits for month 10:
- In month 10, the number of females of age increases by another 6, making it [tex]\( 19 + 6 = 25 \)[/tex] females.
- The number of new rabbits produced is [tex]\( 25 \times 12 = 300 \)[/tex].
- The total number of rabbits in month 10 is [tex]\( 530 + 300 = 830 \)[/tex].

4. Calculate the number of rabbits for month 11:
- In month 11, the number of females of age increases by another 6, making it [tex]\( 25 + 6 = 31 \)[/tex] females.
- The number of new rabbits produced is [tex]\( 31 \times 12 = 372 \)[/tex].
- The total number of rabbits in month 11 is [tex]\( 830 + 372 = 1202 \)[/tex].

5. Calculate the number of rabbits for month 12:
- In month 12, the number of females of age increases by another 6, making it [tex]\( 31 + 6 = 37 \)[/tex] females.
- The number of new rabbits produced is [tex]\( 37 \times 12 = 444 \)[/tex].
- The total number of rabbits in month 12 is [tex]\( 1202 + 444 = 1646 \)[/tex].

So, the results fill the blank spaces in the table as follows:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{l|l} Month & Rabbits \\ \hline 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 14 \\ 3 & 26 \\ 4 & 38 \\ 5 & 50 \\ 6 & 62 \\ 7 & 146 \\ 8 & 302 \\ 9 & 530 \\ 10 & 830 \\ 11 & 1202 \\ 12 & 1646 \\ \end{tabular} \][/tex]
