2048 = 2^n
n = 11
n = 11
Originally, there are 2 mice
So, jojo will have 2048 mice after: 11 - 1 = 10 months
Let's start with the initial number of 2 mice and keep doubling it each month until we reach 2048. We can do this by multiplying the number of mice by 2 each month.
Month 1: 2 mice
Month 2: 2 x 2 = 4 mice
Month 3: 4 x 2 = 8 mice
Month 4: 8 x 2 = 16 mice
Month 5: 16 x 2 = 32 mice
Month 6: 32 x 2 = 64 mice
Month 7: 64 x 2 = 128 mice
Month 8: 128 x 2 = 256 mice
Month 9: 256 x 2 = 512 mice
Month 10: 512 x 2 = 1024 mice
Month 11: 1024 x 2 = 2048 mice
Therefore, it would take 11 months for Jo-Jo to have 2048 mice.
