A country has a natural increase rate of 2 percent and no migration. If this rate remains constant, approximately how long will population take to double using the Rule of 70?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 35 years

The correct answer is B: approximately 35 years. The Rule of 70 estimates doubling time as 70 divided by the annual growth rate in percent. Here the rate is 2 percent and there is no migration, so total growth is also 2 percent. Doubling time ≈ 70 ÷ 2 = 35 years. Option A would require a growth rate of about 2.8 percent. Option B follows the Rule of 70 correctly. Option C would match a rate near 1.4 percent. Option D would match about 0.5 percent and is much too long. This is an approximation and assumes the rate remains reasonably constant. Memory cue: for a percentage rate, divide 70 by the number before the percent sign.
