Respuesta :

The correct option is (C)  59,850

In 2008, the population of New Zealand was approximately 4,275,000 people. If the birth rate was 14 births for every 1,000 people, approximately 59, 850 births occurred in New Zealand in 2008.

Given;

Every 1,000 people, 14 babies are born.

In other words, there will be 59,850 births for every 4,275,000 individuals.

This can be done using following method;

1,000 people = 14 births

4,275,000 people = y birth

Cross multiply, we will get

1,000 people x y birth = 4,275,000 people x 14 births

Divide both sides by 1,000 people, we will get

y = (14 x 4,275,000) ÷ 1,000

y = 59,850,000 ÷ 1000

y = 59,850 births

In New Zealand in 2008, there were roughly 59, 850 births if there were 14 births for every 1,000 persons.
