According to the Rule of 70, what is the approximate doubling time at an annual growth rate of 2.5 percent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 28 years

The Rule of 70 is a quick estimate for the time needed for a quantity to double when its annual growth rate is approximately constant. The estimated doubling time in years is found by dividing 70 by the annual rate expressed as a percentage. It is an approximation, not a guarantee, because actual rates may change over time.

For an annual growth rate of 2.5 percent, doubling time is \(70\div2.5=28\) years. Therefore, option B is correct. The rule shows why higher growth rates produce shorter doubling times: the same number, 70, is divided by a larger rate. The estimate assumes positive growth and does not describe a population with a falling or highly variable rate.
