Round to the nearest whole number.<br /><br />a) 1950: U.S. population = 151,000,000<br />number of heart disease deaths = 886,000<br /><br />886000/151000000*100000 = <br /><b>587 per 100,000</b><br /><br />b) 1970: U.S. population = 203,000,000<br />number of heart disease deaths = 1,000,000<br /><br />1000000/203000000*100000 = <br /><b>493 per 100,000</b><br /><br />c) 1990: U.S. population = 249,000,000<br />number of heart disease deaths = 801,000<br /><br />801000/249000000*100000 = <br /><b>322</b> per 100,000<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Example: hectometer<br />length, 100 meters<br /><br />a) millimeter<br />length, 1/1,000 of a meter<br /><br />b) centiliter<br />volume, 1/100 of a liter<br /><br />c) metric ton<br />weight, special term for 1,000,000 grams or 1,000 kilogramsProf. Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575880031145705761noreply@blogger.com
