For a particular population, the annual rate of growth is 8.5%.

Answer 1

Hey there !!

a) given that :- annual growth rate of population = 8.5% in a year

in an year no. of months = 12
now ,
the annual growth rate of population in a month = 8.5/12 = 0.70...% .

b) semiannual year = 6 months .

therfore ,

annual rate of semianual = 8.5/2 ( we divide by 2 because 6×2 = 12 which is a year )

semi annual rate = 8.5/2 = 4.25% .

c) an year contain = 365 days .

now , population growing rate per day = 8.5%/365 = 0.023% .

d) annual rate = 8.5%

therfore in 5 year growing rate will be = 8.5×5 = 42.5%

hope it definitely helps you !!

Hi SimplyFaith3,

Answer - B.) Find the semiannual growth rate.

Typically you would calculate the annual growth rate per year. But since they dont have that in the choices the one that is nearest to a year is semiannual so thats why I choose B!
