Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of men in the U.S. is $121,301,000$ . . The percentage of men who didn't complete9th grade is $3.38\%$ .

STEP 2

First, we need to find the number of men who didn't complete9th grade. We can do this by multiplying the total number of men by the percentage of men who didn't complete9th grade.
$Number\, of\, men\, who\, didn't\, complete\,9th\, grade = Total\, number\, of\, men \\times Percentage\, of\, men\, who\, didn't\, complete\,9th\, grade$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total number of men and the percentage of men who didn't complete9th grade to calculate the number of men who didn't complete9th grade.
$Number\, of\, men\, who\, didn't\, complete\,9th\, grade =121,301,000 \\times3.38\%$

STEP 4

Convert the percentage to a decimal value.
$3.38\% =0.0338$ $Number\, of\, men\, who\, didn't\, complete\,9th\, grade =121,301,000 \\times0.0338$

STEP 5

Calculate the number of men who didn't complete9th grade.
$Number\, of\, men\, who\, didn't\, complete\,9th\, grade =121,301,000 \\times0.0338 =4,099,953.8$ Since we can't have a fraction of a person, we round this number to the nearest whole number.
$Number\, of\, men\, who\, didn't\, complete\,9th\, grade =4,099,954$ So, approximately4,099,954 men in the U.S. didn't complete9th grade.
