The population of six inhabited continents in 2000 was 6,279,000,000 and in 1950 it was 2,556,000,000. What is the % increase excluding Asia which pop. in 2000 was 4,028,000,000 and in 1950 pop. in Asia was 4,028,000,000?
Please check your numbers. You show the same population in Asia in 1950 and 2000.
sorry that number for Asia in 1950 should have been 1,591,000,000
By subtracting Asia's population from the world's totals in 1950 and 2000, I found the population, excluding Asia, was 965,000,000 in 1950 and 2,251,000,000 in 2000.
Next find how many more people were counted in 2000 than in 1950 by subtracting the two population figures.
Finally divide the 1950 population by that difference to get a decimal. Change it to a percent.
To solve this question, we need to first calculate the population increase of the six inhabited continents excluding Asia from 1950 to 2000.
Step 1: Calculate the population of the six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 1950.
Total population in 1950 - Population of Asia in 1950 = Population of six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 1950
Population of six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 1950 = 2,556,000,000 - 2,556,000,000 = 0
Step 2: Calculate the population of the six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 2000.
Total population in 2000 - Population of Asia in 2000 = Population of six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 2000
Population of six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 2000 = 6,279,000,000 - 4,028,000,000 = 2,251,000,000
Step 3: Calculate the population increase of the six inhabited continents excluding Asia from 1950 to 2000.
Population increase = Population of six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 2000 - Population of six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 1950
Population increase = 2,251,000,000 - 0 = 2,251,000,000
Step 4: Calculate the percentage increase.
Percentage increase = (Population increase / Population in 1950) * 100
Percentage increase = (2,251,000,000 / 0) * 100 (Note: We divide by zero, which is undefined. Therefore, we cannot calculate the percentage increase in this case.)
In this case, since the population of the six inhabited continents excluding Asia in 1950 is zero, we cannot calculate the percentage increase.
