Question

Hello, this is for environmental science, but it is math-related. The current global increase per year is 1.05%? How would I figure out how many people 1.05% is?

Answer 1

Solution

The world population increases by 1.05℅ each year:

Per year = 1.05 %

1. number of months in a year = 12

$months=\frac{1.05}{12}=0.0875\text{ \%}$

2. number of days in a year = 365

$days=\frac{1.05}{365}=0.0029\text{ \%}$

3. number of hours in a year = 8760

$hours=\frac{1.05}{8760}=0.0001198\text{ \%}$
