2.3 THINK: Florida Part 2
77
In 1840, the population of Florida was about 54,500. Between 1840 and 1860,
the population grew exponentially, increasing by about 60% each decade.
The number of decades can be calculated when estimating population.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1). 1 decade

2). 2 decades

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of years in decade = 10 years

1). When we are calculating the population of Florida between 1840 to 1850,

Number of years between 1850 and 1840 = 1850 - 1840

                                                                      = 10 years

So number of decades between 1840 and 1850 = [tex]\frac{10}{10}[/tex] = 1 decade

2). Number of years between 1840 and 1860 = 1860 - 1840

                                                                           = 20 years

Therefore, number of decades between this gap = [tex]\frac{20}{10}=2[/tex] decades
