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
The question is basically asking you to double the 2011 population:\[(2)(7x10^9)=?\]
Can you solve that and put it into scientific notation?
7,000,000,000=7 times 10 to the 9th
?
What's 2 x 7?
"7,000,000,000=7 times 10 to the 9th" Yes
So if you double that, you get 14,000,000,000. Converting that to scientific notation you get \[1.4x10^{10}\]
so which 1 is the answer?
I only posted 1 answer :) 1.4 x 10 ^10
thanks
no problem :)
hey do you mind answering 1 more ques
I'll try
The world population in 1995 was approximately 5.7 billion people. Write this number in standard form.
Ok, it's just asking you to write out 5.7 billion: 5,700,000,000
i figured that thank you alot
no problem :)
