Question

In 1990, the rate of change of the world population was approximately 0.09125 billion per year (or approximately 1 million people every four days). The world population was estimated to be 5.3 billion in 1990. Use the linear model to predict the world population in 2025. a. According to the model, in 2025 the world population will be 84,937,500,000 b. According to the model, in 2025 the world population will be 8,493,750,000 c. According to the model, in 2025 the world population will be 5,302,607,000 d. According to the model, in 2025 the world population will be 8,037,500,000

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the model, in 2025 the world population will be 8,493,750,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate at which population was growing per year = 0.09125 billion

Initial population figure in 1990 = 5.3 billion

World population prediction in 2010 ;

Predicted population figure :

Initial population + (population growth value per year * number of years)

number of years = (2025 - 1990) = 35 years

Predicted population figure in 2025 :

5.3 + (0.09125 * 35)

5.3 + 3.19375

= 8.49375 billion.

8,493,750,000 by 2025
