HELP PLEASE HARDEST QUESTION IN THE WORLD :(

MICKEY AND MINNIE ARE EXPECTING.

THEY ARE A VERY HAPPY COUPLE.

THE DOCTOR SAID THEY ARE HAVING 5 BOYS AND 5 GIRLS.

MICKEY AND MINNIE ARE RATS.

EVERY THREE WEEKS AN ADULT RAT COUPLE CAN HAVE BABIES.

IT TAKES 6 WEEKS FOR A BABY RAT TO BECOME AN ADULT
AND BE OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A BABY.

ASSUMING MICKEY AND MINNIE WANT TO HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS POSSIBLE AND THEIR OFFSPRING WANT TO HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS POSSIBLE,
WHAT WILL BE THEIR ENTIRE POPULATION IN ONE YEAR? (52 WEEKS)
(INCLUDING MICKEY AND MINNIE)
(ASSUME EVERY PREGNACY WILL CONSIST OF 5 BOYS AND 5 GIRLS)

Step by step explanation: If Minnie and Mickey have 5 girls and 5 boys every 3 weeks for 52 weeks this means they will have 17 pregnancies. At the end of one year Minnie and Mickey alone will have produced 170 children. It takes these children 6 weeks to grow up and be ready to reproduce. Every 6 weeks 10 new rats will be able to have children at a rate of 10 per 3 weeks. This means that a single set of 10 offspring will have 100 children every 3 weeks. There will be 8 sets of offspring that can reproduce before the year is over. This means if the sets have 100 children every 3 weeks starting with one set and adding one more set every 6 weeks, at the end of the year the offspring's offspring will total 6,400. 6,400 + 170 will equal 6,570. The total population is 6,570.
