If a country's population growth rate is 3 percent, what is the approximate doubling time according to the Rule of 70?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23 years

The Rule of 70 gives an approximate population doubling time by dividing 70 by the annual growth rate expressed as a percentage. It assumes that the rate remains roughly constant and gives an estimate rather than an exact prediction.

For a growth rate of 3 percent, the doubling time is \(70 \div 3 = 23.33\) years, approximately. Among the choices, 23 years is the closest value, so option B is correct. The answer is not 30 years because that would imply a lower growth rate. In real populations, changing birth rates, death rates, and migration can make the actual time different.
