Question

Between 1990 and 2000, the population of New York City increased at a rate of 32 people every four hours. By how many people would the population have increased in 63 hours?​

Answer 1

Answer:

504 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of people it increased:

$\frac{32}{4}$ = $\frac{x}{63}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

4x = 2016

x = 504

So, in 63 hours, it will have increased by 504 people
