Unit 3, Activity 4, Rule of 72 Worksheet with Answers


Rule of 72 Worksheet Have students predict country and world populations by applying the Rule of 72, which is determined by subtracting a country’s death rate from its birth rate.

Using the Rule of 72, ask students to complete the following table: Region Population 2000 Growth Rate Years to Double North America 481,000,000 0.6 120 Sub-Saharan Africa 611,000,000 2.6 _____ China 1,250,000,000 1.0 _____ India 1,000,000,000 1.8 _____ World 6,000,000,000 1.4 _____ .

Then compute as follows: Population Growth Rate equals birth rate minus death rate (expressed as a percentage). Dividing 72 by the growth rate produces the number of years needed for population to double.
