a) 1950: U.S. population = 151,000,000
number of heart disease deaths = 886,000
886000/151000000*100000 =
587 per 100,000
b) 1970: U.S. population = 203,000,000
number of heart disease deaths = 1,000,000
1000000/203000000*100000 =
493 per 100,000
c) 1990: U.S. population = 249,000,000
number of heart disease deaths = 801,000
801000/249000000*100000 =
322 per 100,000
2) For the following words in metric terminology, tell whether the measure is in length, volume or weight, and how many of the main unit there is given the prefix.
Example: hectometer
length, 100 meters
a) millimeter
length, 1/1,000 of a meter
b) centiliter
volume, 1/100 of a liter
c) metric ton
weight, special term for 1,000,000 grams or 1,000 kilograms
