Question

On average, every minute of every day, 167 babies are born. The bar graph represents the results

of a single day of births, deaths, and population increase worldwide.
Each day, the number of births in the world is 45 thousand less than three times the number of
deaths.
a.) If the population increase in a single day is 241 thousand, determine the number of births and deaths per day.
There are____ thousand births per day
There are ____ thousand deaths per day

Answer 1

Let x thousand births per day

Let y thousand deaths per day

Each day, the number of births in the world is 45 thousand less than three times the number of

deaths.

x=3y-45 (1)

Population increase= birth - death

=x-y(2)

substitute (1) into (2)

3y-45-y=241

2y-45=241

2y=196 (plus 45 from both side)

y=98 (divide 2 from both side)

x-y=241

x-98=241

x=339 ( pluse 98 from both side)

So, There are 339 thousand births per day

There are 98 thousand deaths per day
