Step 1 :The population of rabbits on the farm grows exponentially. This month there are 30 rabbits and last month there were 12 rabbits. We need to find the growth factor.
Step 2 :The growth factor of a population that grows exponentially can be calculated by dividing the population at a certain time by the population at a previous time.
Step 3 :In this case, we need to divide the population of this month (30 rabbits) by the population of last month (12 rabbits).
Step 4 :Performing the division, we get \(\frac{30}{12} = 2.5\)
Step 5 :Final Answer: The growth factor is \(\boxed{2.5}\)
