Unit 3, Activity 4, Rule of 72 Worksheet with Answers
Rule of 72 Worksheet
Have students predict country and world populations by applying the Rule of 72, which is
determined by subtracting a country’s death rate from its birth rate.
Then compute as follows:
Population Growth Rate equals birth rate minus death rate (expressed as a percentage).
Dividing 72 by the growth rate produces the number of years needed for population to double.
Using the Rule of 72, ask students to complete the following table:
