In January 2012, the U.S. Population was about 313 million people. In January 2017, it was about 324 million. What was the average rate of population change per year?

Respuesta :

Answer: 2.2 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer, you would need to make 324 million and 2017 a fraction(324 million as numerator (top), 2017 as denominator (bottom) and the same for 313 million and 2012) . From there, you subtract both fractions. You will get 11/5, which would equal 2 1/5. Multiply the 2 1/5 by 2 to get 2 20/100.

The average rate of population change per year will be 2.2 million.

The difference in population will be:

= 324 million - 313 million.

= 11 million

The difference in years will be:

= 2017 - 2012

= 5 years.

The average rate of population change per year will be:

= 11 million / 5

= 2.2 million
