Question

Does anyone know this answer

Answer 1

The answer is
31,567 deaths per 100,000 people

We will setup a proportion to calculate the units of deaths per 100,000 people.


`(912,300)/(289,000,000) = (x)/(100,000)`

We would cross multiply.

First step: 100,000 * 912,300 = 91230000000

Second step: 289,000,000 * x = 289,000,000x

Third step: 91,230,000,000 = 289,000,000x

We will be dividing both sides by 289,000,000.


`(91,230,000,000)/(289,000,000)` = 315.6747404844290657

We will multiply this number by 100.

315.6747404844290657 * 100 = 31567.47404844290657

The question is requiring us to round to the nearest integer.

Our rounded number is 31,567

Our answer to the problem is:

31,567 deaths per 100,000 people

Summary:

We first setup a proportion to calculate the units of deaths per 100,000 people. Then, we cross multiplied and divided both sides by 289,000,000. Using the number we found, we multiplied this number by 100. Lastly, the answer required us to round to the nearest integer so our final answer was 31,567 deaths per 100,000 people.
