In 1992, the Population Crisis Committee wrote:
Large cities in developing countries are growing much faster than cities in the industrialized world ever have.London, which in 1810 became the first industrial city to top 1 million, now has a population of 11 million.By contrast, Mexico City's population stood at only a million just 50 years ago and now is 20 million.
Assume that the instantaneous percentage growth rates of London and Mexico City were constant over the last two centuries.How many times greater is Mexico City's percentage growth rate than London's (to one decimal place)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement provided does not contain sufficient information to calculate the instantaneous percentage growth rates of London and Mexico City directly, nor does it directly answer a question about the comparative growth rates. It provides historical population figures but does not specify the growth rates, which would require a specific formula to calculate based on the given populations and the time periods involved.
