I think a "common sense" course might be in order before re-taking algebra
Where the heck do you get: 16692 / 296410404 = 5.613 ? You just have to
glance at that to see that its way way off
A murder rate of 5.6 % would mean that on average more than one of every 20
people get murdered in the US each year. If this was true almost nobody
would get to old age before getting murdered.

Apparently, I was not clear.
Please look at the numbers below
When I divide the FBI's numbers of 16,692 murders / 296,410,404 the
population in 2005 I get 5.613.
Please TRY IT!
16692 / 296410404 = 5.613
It's been a while since I did my Algebra, but I think that is correct.
Now when I look at how to get a percentage according to this site
http://www.blurtit.com/q845591.html
The equation can be put up as follows:
(Given amount/ Total amount) x100
For example if John scores 60 out of 75 in mathematics we can find the
percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 which comes to be 0.8 and
then multiplying it by 100 which gives us the percentage of his marks in
math which is 80%.
(60/75) x 100 = 80%
Hence
5.6%
According to the FBI
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html
In 2005 there were 16,692 murders in a population of 296,410,404 people
in the united states.
That's 5.6% murdered in the U.S.

** Nicholas,
Your math is off. It's 0.0056% for the US, not 5.6%, which would be
about 1/410 the rate in Iraq. (Of course the numbers get a bit more
complicated that that when you consider that the Iraq numbers are over a
period of years with varying populations of soldiers.)

According to
http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm
There are 5.6 murders per 100,000 capita in the United
States.
According to the FBI
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html
In 2005 there were 16,692 murders in a population of
296,410,404 people in the united states.
That's 5.6% murdered in the U.S.
Iraq I didn't look up the numbers, I am not even sure
where to look, but I think
There were over 3,000 soldiers killed with a population
(of soldiers) at 130,000
That's 2.3% murdered in Iraq.
I would have thought the number in Iraq would be higher.
Be safe everyone.
