Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crude birth rate is the number of live births per 1,000 people in a given year. In this case, we need to divide the number of births by the total population and then multiply by 1,000 to get the crude birth rate. 
Crude birth rate = (4 million births / 400 million people) x 1,000 = 10
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
