The world population in the year 2011 was approximately 7 x 109 people. If the population doubles in 100 years, how many people will be on the earth in the year 2111? Write your answer in scientific notation

OpenStudy (shane_b):

The question is basically asking you to double the 2011 population:\[(2)(7x10^9)=?\]

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Can you solve that and put it into scientific notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7,000,000,000=7 times 10 to the 9th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (shane_b):

What's 2 x 7?

OpenStudy (shane_b):

"7,000,000,000=7 times 10 to the 9th" Yes

OpenStudy (shane_b):

So if you double that, you get 14,000,000,000. Converting that to scientific notation you get \[1.4x10^{10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which 1 is the answer?

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I only posted 1 answer :) 1.4 x 10 ^10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (shane_b):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey do you mind answering 1 more ques

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I'll try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The world population in 1995 was approximately 5.7 billion people. Write this number in standard form.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Ok, it's just asking you to write out 5.7 billion: 5,700,000,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i figured that thank you alot

OpenStudy (shane_b):

no problem :)
