The population of a country is 313 million and there were 45,600 deaths due to kidney disease. What is the rate of deaths per 10,000 of the population of the country?
313*10^6/1*10^4 = 313*10^2 = 31,300.
45,000/31,300 = 1.44 deaths per 10,000.
To calculate the rate of deaths per 10,000 of the population, you need to divide the number of deaths by the population and then multiply the result by 10,000.
In this case, the population of the country is 313 million and the number of deaths due to kidney disease is 45,600.
First, we need to convert the population to the same unit as the deaths. Since the population is given in millions, we can multiply it by 1 million to get the total population.
313 million * 1 million = 313,000,000
Now, we can calculate the rate of deaths per 10,000 population:
45,600 deaths / 313,000,000 population * 10,000 = 1.457 deaths per 10,000 population
So, the rate of deaths per 10,000 of the population of the country is approximately 1.457 deaths.
