the table below shows the approximate population for the 10 least populated countries in the world.use the data to estimate answers to the problem.
vatican city 900
tuvalu 11,000
nauru 13,000
palau 20,000
san marino 28,000
manaco 32,000
liechtenstein 33,000
st.kitts and nevis 39,000
antigua 68,000
dominica 69,000
1. the population of liechtenstein is about____________% of the population of Domonica.(how do I find it)
2.what country's population is about 33% of liechtenstein's population?__________(how do I find it)
3.the population of vatican city is about _____________% of the population of palau.
4.the population of the ten countries is listed 314,900. what 3 countries populations togetther equal about 50% of the total?____________(#4 is the hardest)
5. the population of st.kitts and nevis is about ____________% of nauru's population.
even if you wont give me the answer, can you explain step by step for me how to find the answers.
1.
33,000 / 69,000 = 0.48 = 48% = about 50%
I'll be glad to check your answers for the other problems.
did any one find the answers to these questions i could not figure it out either
1. To find the percentage of Liechtenstein's population compared to Dominica's population, you need to divide the population of Liechtenstein by the population of Dominica and then multiply the result by 100.
Let's do the calculation:
Liechtenstein population = 33,000
Dominica population = 69,000
Percentage calculation:
(33,000 / 69,000) * 100 = 47.83%
Therefore, the population of Liechtenstein is about 47.83% of the population of Dominica.
2. To find the country whose population is about 33% of Liechtenstein's population, you need to multiply the population of Liechtenstein by 33% (or 0.33) and compare it to the populations of the other countries to find the closest match.
Let's do the calculation:
Liechtenstein population = 33,000
Population calculation:
33,000 * 0.33 = 10,890
From the given data, the closest match to the calculated population of 10,890 is Tuvalu with a population of 11,000. Therefore, Tuvalu's population is about 33% of Liechtenstein's population.
3. To find the percentage of Vatican City's population compared to Palau's population, you need to divide the population of Vatican City by the population of Palau and then multiply the result by 100.
Let's do the calculation:
Vatican City population = 900
Palau population = 20,000
Percentage calculation:
(900 / 20,000) * 100 = 4.5%
Therefore, the population of Vatican City is about 4.5% of the population of Palau.
4. To find the three countries whose populations together equal about 50% of the total population, you need to sort the countries' populations in descending order and then sum the populations starting from the largest until you reach or exceed 50% of the total population.
Let's calculate:
Sort the populations in descending order:
Dominica - 69,000
Antigua - 68,000
St. Kitts and Nevis - 39,000
Liechtenstein - 33,000
Monaco - 32,000
San Marino - 28,000
Palau - 20,000
Nauru - 13,000
Tuvalu - 11,000
Vatican City - 900
Start summing the populations:
69,000 + 68,000 = 137,000 (not yet 50%)
137,000 + 39,000 = 176,000 (not yet 50%)
176,000 + 33,000 = 209,000 (not yet 50%)
209,000 + 32,000 = 241,000 (not yet 50%)
241,000 + 28,000 = 269,000 (not yet 50%)
269,000 + 20,000 = 289,000 (not yet 50%)
289,000 + 13,000 = 302,000 (not yet 50%)
302,000 + 11,000 = 313,000 (not yet 50%)
313,000 + 900 = 314,900
As you can see, the populations of the three countries that together equal about 50% of the total population are Dominica, Antigua, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
5. To find the percentage of St. Kitts and Nevis' population compared to Nauru's population, you need to divide the population of St. Kitts and Nevis by the population of Nauru and then multiply the result by 100.
Let's do the calculation:
St. Kitts and Nevis population = 39,000
Nauru population = 13,000
Percentage calculation:
(39,000 / 13,000) * 100 = 300%
Therefore, the population of St. Kitts and Nevis is about 300% of Nauru's population.
