Pleeeeeeaaaaase show steps

Answer 1

between this two years that's 2001 and 2007 there is 1/3 over 2/7

for as to get the total number 1/3 divide 7/2=1,1/6 billions of people

Answer 2

Subtract the starting population from the increased population:

1/3 -2/7

Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:

7/21 - 6/21 = 1/21 billion increase.
