Since each month 1 rabbit become adult and each month rabbits adult produce one rabbit each month and no rabbits die. therefore the total per month would be 2 rabbits. multiply 2 rabbits by 6 first we would get 12 and then multiply 12 by 12 months we would get 144. seems logical? (Note am not so sure) i just wanted to try to help you.
