Country A has an exponential growth rate of 4.8%per year. The population is currently 4,612,000 and the land area of Country A is 13,000,000,000 square yards. Assuming this growth rate continues and is exponential, after how long will there be one person for every square yard of land ? This will happen in _years? (Round to the nearest integer)
