439
a)
(The Formula
is
Example:
=(Cell-Cell)/Cell
White (nonHispanic)
200
203
=(The cell that
has 2050 Totalthe cell that
has the 2010
total)/The cell
that has has
the 2010
total)… Then
copy down for
the one’s
below…
b)
c) The
formula is
The Cell
that has
the ethic
group data
/ the total
Population
for 2010 You
cannot
copy this
formula
d) c) The
formula is
The Cell that
has the ethic
group data /
the total
Population
for 2050..
You cannot
copy this

My suggestion is to use Excel or Google Docs – Spreadsheet (if you don’t have Excel).. and
you do have the internet.
You can use the paper above to write in your answers…..
Hint - to answer a) The formula is.. Total Population in 2050 (439) - Total Population in
2010 (309) divided by Total Population in 2010 (309) (Of course you will need to input this
as a formula)...
I will provide the answers later; however, you will need to input the formulas... and
compare these.. and learn how to complete Excel... to provide answers to problems.
Create and upload to Google Docs in the folder that is shared with Mrs. Hutson.
