The birth of baby mice?

Question

heres another one for those of you who have been answering my riddles.... im sure its gonna take you a little longer!!!!

Mice are famous for their ability to multiply at breakneck speeds. The type of mouse we have here gives birth once a month, birthing 12 babies each time. Baby mice mature and can give birth two months after they are born.

You picked up one of these cute baby mice at the pet shop and brought it home the day after it was born. In 10 months from now, how many mice will you have?

Answer 1

none you only bought one mice you have to have 2 for them to actually multiply

Answer 2

10?

Answer 3

1. It needs a second mouse of the opposite gender for you to have babies.

Answer 4

1?

Answer 5

just the one if u only bought one- who's it going to reproduce with?? lol

Answer 6

ok so it takes 2 months so day after it was born= 59 days so actually 8 months. so it'd be 96 if it has 12 each time

but that is only if you have a mate for it otherwise just one

OR it could be only one either way because you didnt say the GENDER of the mouse

Answer 7

96??

10 -2 = 8

8 x 12 = 96
