Question

Ms. MacDonald raises rabbits. She starts with 3 rabbits. After a few months, she counts 3 times as many rabbits. The next time she counts, she has 3 times as many rabbits as she did at the previous count. How many rabbits does Ms. MacDonald now have? Select the correct exponential expression and its value.

Answer 1

Explanation: In the beginning, we had just 3 rabbits, 3 months later we have 3 times the previous number which means 3 * 3 = 9. After Ms, MacDonald counts again and it has 3 times the previous number which means 9 * 3 = 27.

Step 1: We can represent this sequence from the beginning to the end as:

$3\cdot3\cdot3=3^3=27$

Result: So the final answer is letter A

$3^3=27$
