Before the table it says - the table shows some features relating to the human population of Mexico in 2007

Questions - Use the information in the table to calculate the size of the population of Mexico in 2008. Show you're working.

You need to draw a graph, or at least try to quantify the trend (maybe in form y=mx+c) that sort of thing. At least that's what I imagine, as I don't have the question in front of me. Then deduce from the equation, or graph, by projection, what the population is likely to be if the increase is consistent. I highly doubt it will be an exponential increase so y=mx+c is best chance I guess.
