Large population can be represented in scientific notations
The population in 30 years time is 1.53 * 10^11
The current population is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{Population = 5.1 \times 10^{10}}[/tex]
In 30 years time, the population would be 3 times more.
This means that, the population in 30 years time is: 3 multiplied by the current population.
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{New = 3 \times Population}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{New = 3 \times 5.1 \times 10^{10}}[/tex]
Multiply
[tex]\mathbf{New = 15.3 \times 10^{10}}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{New = 1.53 \times 10^{11}}[/tex]
Hence, the population in 30 years time is 1.53 * 10^11
