To find out the percentage of New Mexico's population that is made up of minority groups, we need to look for reliable demographic data on the state's population. One reliable source for this information is the U.S. Census Bureau.
To find the answer, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the official website of the U.S. Census Bureau (www.census.gov).
2. Look for the section or menu that provides demographic data or population estimates.
3. Search for the specific information related to the population of New Mexico.
4. Look for the data related to minority groups, such as racial and ethnic categories.
5. Identify the percentage or proportion of the population that is classified as minority groups.
Given the options you provided, we can use the process described above to eliminate some options and make an educated guess. Since minority groups typically refer to racial and ethnic populations that are not considered the majority, it is unlikely that only 20 percent of New Mexico's population is composed of minority groups. Similarly, 85 percent seems to be too high for a state's population made up of minority groups.
This leaves us with two plausible options: 35 percent and 60 percent. To determine which of these is the correct answer, we would need to consult the U.S. Census Bureau's data or reliable sources that cite their information.
Please note that population demographics can change over time, so it is essential to refer to the most up-to-date data sources for accurate information.
