Question 1154628: The Population of Ohio in 2000 was approximately 11.27 million people. Using this fact, solve the following:
If Ohio's Population grows by 1% each year, what would be the projected Population of Ohio in 2020? Round to one decimal place.
If Ohio's Population in 2045 becomes 6.21 million people, find the yearly growth rate from 2000 to 2045. Report your answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place.

(1) 11.27%2A%281.01%29%5E20

Use a calculator....

(2) 6.21 million? Did they all move to Florida?

6.21+=+11.27%2A%28r%5E45%29
6.21%2F11.27+=+r%5E45
r+=+%286.21%2F11.27%29%5E%281%2F45%29

Use a calculator...

Note that, if the 6.21 million figure is right, the "growth rate" is going to be less than 1.00.
