If these questions are about graphs and charts, we don't have access to anything about family spending in Newton. What is the average family income?

What does your graph show as the answers to 2 and 3?

the family income hasn't been mentioned here......that is that has been mentioned.

Obviously a family in Newton spends almost half (44%) of its income on housing. But question asks for the amount -- so you have to know the family's total income to find the dollar amount.

1> To find the amount that is nearly half of all spending, you need to calculate 44% of the total spending.

Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Add up all the spending percentages: 44% + 21% + 14% + 6% + 5% + 10% = 100%.

Step 2: Divide 44% by 100 to get the decimal value: 44 / 100 = 0.44.

Step 3: Multiply the decimal value by the total spending to find the amount: 0.44 * total spending.

For example, if the total spending is $1000, then the amount that is nearly half would be 0.44 * $1000 = $440.

2> To determine the year when the world population was 2 billion, you can look at historical data.

Here's how you can find the answer:

Step 1: Gather data on global population growth over time.

Step 2: Examine the historical trend of population growth to identify the year when the global population reached 2 billion.

For instance, according to historical data, the world population reached 2 billion in the year 1927.

3> To determine the accepted population for the year 2012, you can refer to reputable sources such as the United Nations or World Bank.

Here's how you can find the answer:

Step 1: Consult official sources that provide estimated population data.

Step 2: Look for the specific population estimation for the year 2012.

For example, according to the United Nations, the estimated world population in 2012 was around 7 billion. However, it is important to note that population estimations may vary slightly between different sources.
