Question 1 of 8, Step 1 of 1 Correct Assuming a current world population of 5 billion people, an annual growth rate of 1.4% per year, and a worst-case scenario of exponential growth, what will the world population be in 10 years? Round to two decimal places.

Step 1
The annual growth rate is given as 1.4% per year. To convert this to decimal form, divide it by 100. 1.4% / 100 = 0.014 Show more…

Use an annual growth rate of 1.4% in a 10 year period for a certain population to find the approximate doubling time and then predict the population in 2050, based on a 2000 population of 5.0 billion. What is the approximate doubling time? _____ years (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) What will be the approximate population in 2050? _____ billion (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
