Answer :

To determine how the population of the Ottoman Empire changed between the years 1520 and 1683, follow these steps:

1. Identify the population in 1520: \( 11,692,480 \) people.
2. Identify the population in 1683: \( 30,000,000 \) people.

Next, calculate the change in population:

3. Subtract the population of 1520 from the population of 1683:
[tex]\[ 30,000,000 - 11,692,480 = 18,307,520 \][/tex]

4. Determine whether the population increased or decreased. Since the population in 1683 (\( 30,000,000 \)) is greater than the population in 1520 (\( 11,692,480 \)), we confirm that the population increased.

Therefore, between 1520 and 1683, the population of the Ottoman Empire increased by about 18,307,520 people.
