If the growth rate of a population is 1.5% how long will it take that country to double?
46 years.
Use the above question to help answer this. In 2002 16.4 million babies were born what is the birthrate as a percentage and as per 1000 births?
How do I solve this one?
Are you doing it per a thousand living people? Or per births?
Both
To determine the birth rate as a percentage, you need to know the total population of the country in 2002. Let's assume the total population in 2002 is P.
First, calculate the number of births per 1000 people:
Birth rate per 1000 = (Number of births / Total population) * 1000
If there were 16.4 million births in 2002, then:
Birth rate per 1000 = (16.4 million / P) * 1000
To calculate the birth rate as a percentage, divide the number of births by the total population and multiply by 100:
Birth rate percentage = (Number of births / Total population) * 100
Now, let's substitute the known values and solve for the birth rate as a percentage and per 1000 births.
To calculate the birthrate as a percentage, you need to know the population size and the number of births. Since you have the number of births (16.4 million babies in 2002), you still need the population size.
If the growth rate is given as 1.5%, it means the population is growing annually by 1.5% of its current size. However, without the actual population size, we cannot determine the exact birthrate as a percentage.
To calculate the birthrate per 1000 births, divide the number of births by the population size and then multiply by 1000.
birthrate per 1000 births = (number of births / population size) x 1000
If you can provide the population size for 2002, I can help you calculate the birthrate as a percentage and per 1000 births.
