Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current annual growth rate of the world population is around 1.05%. Using the rule of 70, we can approximate the number of years it takes for a population to double by dividing 70 by the growth rate. So, 70/1.05 = 66.67 years. Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is 67 years. Therefore, if the world's population continues to grow at the current rate, it will double in approximately 67 years or around 45 years from now. Choice C is the best answer.
