To find the total population of the U.S. in 1991, we can use the information that about 7/10 of the population said "a" to be true.
Let X be the total population in 1991.
We know that 7/10 of this total population answered "a" to be true. This can be represented as (7/10) * X.
So, the equation becomes:
(7/10) * X = Total population
To solve for X, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 10/7 to isolate X:
X = (Total population) * (10/7)
We don't have the exact value of the total population, but we can estimate it using this equation. This means the total population in 1991 will be approximately 1.4286 times the number of people who answered "a" to be true.
