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 (lgbasallote):

2111 is 100 years after 2011 so 7 x 10^9 will double so just multiply \[7 \times 10^9 \times 2\] what does that give you?

1260

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7*90*2

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's not 90...it's 10^9

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

just multiply 7 and 2 then copy "x10^9" to get the answer
