Using the multiplication operation, the population of the species in 30 years would be 8 times the current population. Hence, the population at the time would be [tex] 5.44 \times 10^{10}[/tex]
- Current population = [tex] 6.8 \times 10^{9}[/tex]
Therefore, 8 times the current population can be calculated thus :
[tex] 6.8 \times 10^{9} \times (8) = 54.4 \times 10^{9}[/tex]
Therefore, the population at the time would be [tex] 5.44 \times 10^{10}[/tex]
