Please read Beyond the Numbers Question 1 on page 6 in your text. Take your time and when you feel ready please pick the best answer to the question: The word "Doubles" is used in the subheading to describe the increase in cocaine use among children. Look carefully at table 1.1 (page 7). Where does the word " doubles" come from? This was just an off-hand way of saying it "increased a lot." All stimulants were at a rate of about 5.6 in 2001, but cannabis use in 2004 was at a rate of 11.3. 11.3 is essentially double 5.6, and this is where the use of the word "doubles" came from. The article says it doubled from 1% to 2% between 2004 and 2005. But the entry for 2004 is 1.4 and 1.9 for 2005. Good guess that the authors just rounded the 1.4 to 1 and the 1.9 to 2. The rate for crack was 0.8 in 2006, but 1.60 for cocaine. 1.6 is double 0.8 so that is where the use of the word "doubles" came from.
