The population of a country in 1950 was 6.2 X 107. The population in 2030 is

projected to be 3 X 102 times the 1950 population. If the projection is correct,

what will the population of the country be in 2030?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The population of the country be in 2030 is [tex]1.86\times 10^{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a country in 1950 was [tex]6.2\times 10^7[/tex]

The population in 2030 is  projected to be [tex]3 \times10^2[/tex] times the 1950 population.

If the projection is correct.

which means the population in 2030 is  projected to be [tex]3 \times10^2[/tex] times the 1950 population.

i.e. population of the country be in 2030 is

[tex]P=(3 \times10^2)\times (6.2\times 10^7)[/tex]

[tex]P=(3\times6.2)\times (10^2\times 10^7)[/tex]

[tex]P=18.6\times 10^9[/tex]

[tex]P=1.86\times 10^{10}[/tex]

Therefore, the population of the country be in 2030 is [tex]1.86\times 10^{10}[/tex]
