Population of Rabbits: 50 80 128 205 328 525 840 Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Population of United States (in millions): 309.35 311.66 313.97 316.28 318.59 320.90 323.21
Calculate the population change of rabbits from 2010 to 2016.
a) 840
b) 528
c) 790
d) 340

Answer 1

The population change of rabbits from 2010 to 2016 is obtained by subtracting the initial population from the final population, yielding a change of 790 rabbits.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the population change of rabbits from 2010 to 2016, we need to subtract the population at the beginning of the period from the population at the end of the period. This can be done with the formula Population Change = Population (end) - Population (beginning). Applying this formula to the given data, we have:

Population Change (2010 - 2016) = Population of Rabbits in 2016 - Population of Rabbits in 2010

Population Change (2010 - 2016) = 840 - 50

Population Change (2010 - 2016) = 790
