My online lesson doesn't really help with my assignment, since it talks about converting fractions to decimals and such,
or maybe it's just not clicking for me.
Soooo,
Instructions I guess;
"Then use statistics from the United States Census Bureau’s web site at http://www.census.gov/. Write and solve two problems you create with Census 2010 data. Write questions that compare
the data you find. Use fraction, decimal, and/or percent form and describe how you found each
answer. "
1. The 2010 census reported about 308.7 million people in the United States. The 2000 census reported a population of about 281.4 million. By about what percent did the population change?
Did the population grow or shrink? Hint: To find the answer, write the ratio of the populations,
then divide the difference by the 2000 population.
and,
2. The population in the South in 2000 was 100,236,820. In 2010, the population in the South had
increased by 14.3% from 2000. About many people lived in the South in 2010?
