Solution

The world population increases by 1.05℅ each year:

Per year = 1.05 %

1. number of months in a year = 12

$months=(1.05)/(12)=0.0875\text{ \%}$

2. number of days in a year = 365

$days=(1.05)/(365)=0.0029\text{ \%}$

3. number of hours in a year = 8760

$hours=(1.05)/(8760)=0.0001198\text{ \%}$
