    Frogs can lay up to 20,000 eggs at once, but few frogs survive to adulthood due to predation. The document estimates that if 5,000 eggs are laid, only 50 frogs survive to adulthood after many eggs and tadpoles are eaten. It then asks how many frogs there are after starting with 2 frogs and seeing population changes over 8 years, with a table to be filled out showing assumed exponential growth.
