Question

The graph shows changing population statistics during the early part of the twentieth century.

Answer 1

Answer:

By the 1930s the African American population of the Midwest and Northeast  had more than doubled since 1900.

Explanation:

Given that the African-American population in the Midwest and Northeast was 500,000 people in 1900, and rose to 1,250,000 by 1930, to determine the percentage by which said population increased, the following calculation must be performed:

500,000 = 1

1,250,000 = X

1,250,000 x 1 / 500,000 = X

2.5 = X

Thus, the African American population in those regions had more than doubled during that period of time.
